Description
Join us for an exploration of how innovation partnerships drive digital citizen engagement in the public sector. These partnerships bring together diverse actors—including public administrations, private sector entities, academia, and civil society organizations—who collaborate to develop technological solutions that empower citizens and enhance participatory governance.
This webinar will showcase how these principles manifest when civic tech organizations, city governments, and public sector innovators interact and work together to contribute to the development and use of emerging technologies for citizen participation and overcome challenges related to data privacy, accessibility, trust, resource constraints, and system interoperability.
