Event date:

September 30, 2020

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.
