DigiGov 2025 Innovating Public Service: Navigating the New Technological, Procurement and Policy Landscape

I. Rationale:

In today’s digital era, governments worldwide are rapidly transitioning towards digital transformation to enhance service delivery, transparency, and efficiency. A citizen-centric approach to government digitalization enabled by emerging technologies and the latest innovation ensure that digital government initiatives prioritize the needs, expectations, and experiences of the public, making services more accessible, efficient, and inclusive. Leveraging a platform-based digital model further enables interoperability, data sharing, and availing fit-for-purpose innovation across government agencies.
