The second day of the Digital Citizenship Congress, held in September 2024, was marked by fundamental discussions on the integration between government, society, and industry in building a secure and modern citizen platform, with the National Identity Card (CIN) as the main focus. The event brought together important leaders, reaffirming the commitment to the evolution of digital identity in Brazil.
Rogério Mascarenhas, Secretary of Digital Government, highlighted the relevance of the event as a space for collaboration. “This meeting celebrates, in a way, the union between government and industry in identification and certification. An event like this is essential to unite efforts in favor of the new identity card, which goes beyond a matter of security, health, or revenue; it is a matter of citizenship. It is important that we are discussing this to evolve in that direction,” Mascarenhas stated.
Pedro Pontual, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Office of the President of the Republic, reinforced the government’s commitment to ensuring the uniqueness of citizen data in its relationship with the State, ensuring the use of technology efficiently and securely. “We are here to improve the lives of Brazilian citizens. Our challenge now is to move forward, ensuring that there is uniqueness in the citizen’s identification number, with the utmost security that current technology offers us. This is our goal and the government’s guideline,” Pontual emphasized.
Célio Ribeiro, Executive President of ABRID and founder and President of InterID, actively participated in the second day of the event and highlighted the importance of collaboration among the various spheres involved in the process. “We are at a fundamental moment. This synergy between the federal government, the executives of the Federation units, industry, and civil society in building this great citizen platform is very important. The time is now. Let us respect competencies and legitimacies, and together we will build a secure, modern, and above all, citizen platform,” Ribeiro concluded.
The second day of the Congress reaffirmed the commitment to innovation and security, positioning the CIN as an essential tool for digital citizenship in Brazil.
