By 2034, GovTech – government technology – is poised to unlock $9.8 trillion in public value globally, transforming how governments operate and connect with people.
As governments face rising demands for efficiency, transparency and sustainability, GovTech offers solutions that streamline processes, reduce costs, and rebuild public trust. From AI-powered decision-making to digital platforms boosting citizen engagement, GovTech can redefine governance, drive societal progress, and bridge divides in an increasingly digital world.
Success stories from Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brazil, Germany, Malaysia, Rwanda and Ukraine showcase innovative GovTech solutions delivering tangible results: streamlined services, reduced corruption and accelerated economic growth.
