Rethink
The pace of technological change, the rise of a multipolar and interconnected world, and the challenges of climate change are disrupting the government’s agendas. As a reaction, this may lead to a focus on issues that are closer in time and space.
In a reality stuck in the present, we urge governments at any level, society and purpose-driven businesses to join forces and rethink the key aspect of the world as we know it.
The people’s participation in public decision making, the way public policy is designed and delivered and the whole idea of growth and prosperity need a twist. We need to face the age of AI and global challenges without losing the angle of public value creation.
The international community of GovTech will gather in Milan to rethink democracy, policy and growth and create the conditions to make new things happen.
GovTech Expo
Discover the most innovative technologies from corporates and govtech startups who will exhibit during the forum.
Agenda
Two days of inspirational speeches, workshops, and powerful ideas to rethink society through a transformative public sector. We also host talks, but we love to think and do. The GovTech Forum is a platform where a community of practice and intent gathers.
