April 22 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
In an increasingly data-driven world, aligning with international norms on data protection and responsible AI is key to global competitiveness and digital sovereignty.
In this third session of the InDiCo-Global webinar series, we welcome Nicole Angel Sanchez Rojas, who will present her work on fostering regulatory readiness and ethical AI adoption in Bolivia — a country currently ranked 117 out of 130 on the Global Responsible AI Index and with no overarching data protection legislation in place.
Her initiative supports the uptake of global best practices, inspired by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Act, to help shape local governance mechanisms, promote digital rights, and build capacity among Bolivian stakeholders.

April 22: 1430
In this fourth InDiCo-Global webinar, we explore two on-the-ground initiatives from Africa and Latin America that engage with the EU’s approach to digital identity and digital government as a point of reference for local action.
Debora Comparin will share her work on developing security guidelines for digital identity wallets in Africa, bridging regulatory gaps between the EU’s eIDAS framework and emerging continental trust frameworks. The aim: to build scalable, secure, and locally adaptable models that enable trusted cross-border digital identity solutions.
Julio Herrera, representing Red Ciudadana in Guatemala, will present efforts to strengthen digital government services through the adoption of European ICT standards — improving transparency, accessibility, and interoperability in public administration.
InDiCo-Global, a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action, builds bridges between technical communities and policy makers globally, on topics relating to Digital policies and ICT standardisation.
Powered by a strong consortium – ETSI, CEN, CENELEC, Trust-IT, Martel Innovate and COMMpla, InDiCo-Global aims to develop mutual understanding of policy, regulatory and technical approaches to ICT/digital technologies, enhance cooperation on ICT standards and alignment in policies and regulations, leading to a wider use of common standards for the benefit of European industry.
