Event “GovTech in France and Germany”: How can start-ups help reimagine the public sector?

21 February 2024 | 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CET in Berlin, Germany
Innovative tech companies have great potential to rethink and reshape the public sector and drive the digitalisation of the state through smart ideas.

In cooperation with La French Tech Berlin, PUBLIC, Business France, the German-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Hertie School – Centre for Digital Governance, Mazars would like to present new public-private tech collaborations in France and Germany as a side event to the Handelsblatt GovTech Summit. We aim to shed light on the importance and strength of start-ups in the digitalisation of the state.

In inspiring panel discussions, topics such as AI in the public sector and digital health care in the DiGA and PECAN process will be discussed by German-French panellists from the public and private sectors.
