Parallel Track 3 (Technical): Next generation digital government: Interoperability solutions for automated, proactive public services
SILVER HALL
This session will discuss how governments are seeking to increasingly automate public services, so that they require as little interaction from users and service providers as possible. It implies a capacity to anticipate societal and economic developments, as well as users’ needs, by capturing real-time information and applying it to re-design services. Panellists will also discuss what interoperability solutions are needed to support the development of these next generation digital public services that are (close to) fully automated and proactive.
Moderation: Andrea Halmos, Deputy Head of Unit, Interoperability and Digital Government, DG DIGIT, European Commission
