GovTech and the future of government
Free Online Workshop | Exclusive for Public Servants & Policymakers | 30 September 2020, 3-4pm (BST)/ 10-11am (ET).
GovTech has the potential to profoundly change the way government works – but many people haven’t even heard of it. This is even more relevant in a post-Covid19 world, as governments are accelerating their digital transformation and need new forms of public-private partnerships to test digital innovations before scaling them.
GovTech is commonly understood as a public-private partnership between governments and tech-related startups to solve public problems. It offers solutions to how governments do finance and investment, business development and innovation, procurement and regulation, and even teaching public servants soft skills.
