GovTech

GovTech means new smart welfare services and products for employees and citizens that are co-created by innovative companies and the public sector.

GovTech strives to make the public sector more innovative and development-oriented by using new and emerging digital technology. The aim is to make the use of tax funds more efficient and increase the quality of life for all citizens. In order to accelerate the pace of innovation and increase the public value of the digital transformation, it is necessary to create closer collaboration between innovative companies and the public sector.

In the Govtech ecosystem main actors, such as users and value creators in the public and private sectors, facilitators who supports co-creation and provides competence, and a support system that provides financing and rules of the eco system, work together.

At present, the Swedish GovTech ecosystem is coordinated by Bron Innovation - a regional ICT cluster and Digital Innovation Hub located in Sundsvall, Västernorrland.
