Date and time: Thursday 16 May 14:00 – 16.00 (CEST)
High-level description: This webinar will explore the challenges and potential solutions that could improve the European Commission's policies and initiatives in support to GovTech practices in Europe. Prof. Björn Niehaves and Dr. Gerhard Klassen will present their findings from a comprehensive study on the factors influencing cross-border GovTech practices in Europe, based on over 110 interviews with GovTech leaders in Public Administrations and Start-ups that were discussed and validated in a dedicated workshop.
The objective of the event is to present the main results and outputs from the GovTech Study, namely:
- The Conceptual Framework underlying GovTech Practices in Europe with the identified enabling and hindering factors;
- Policy and organisational Implications of influencing factors and common requirements characterizing GovTech practices in Europe.
- Possible recommendations, key pre-conditions, potential measures/solutions for cross-border interoperability and re-usability requirements for GovTech Actors to support the successful implementation and scaling of innovative digital solutions, in compliance with the IOP Act and EU regulations.
The audience will have the possibility to interact and ask question to the Study Experts and Panellists - representative of Public Administrations and Start-up founders who will present their view and experiences in GovTech practices in support to public sector delivery of innovative services to citizens and businesses.
