What is GovTech Connect?
GovTech Connect is a is a multi-year, cross-border project, created under DG CONNECT of the European Commission, that entails a variety of initiatives convening and mobilising the GovTech innovation ecosystem - bringing together SMEs, public and private GovTech gamechangers, investors, civil society, academia and NGOs to create solutions with lasting impact.
The GovTech Connect pilot project is part of a widespread array of programmes supported by the European Commission, exploring how governments are harnessing latest technologies. You can find more information about these initiatives by clicking here: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/topic/ict/innovation.
Specifically, GovTech Connect will spread the word and share content about:
- GovTech market trends in Europe
- European GovTech initiatives
- Design thinking methodology and citizen engagement for GovTech solutions development
As part of these activities, GovTech Connect will see the launch of four European Boot camps to best prepare GovTech start-ups for collaboration with the public sector, as well as co-creative solution design with citizens. Webinars, workshops and other events will be occasions for networking and knowledge sharing.
The activities will be carried out by a consortium led by Intellera Consulting, with partners PUBLIC, Lisbon Council and Politecnico di Milano.
The GovTech Connect project marks a major milestone in the advancement of the GovTech agenda to empower and accelerate public sector innovation across Europe (and beyond).
