Public platforms to facilitate data-based collaboration between GovTechs and public administration (ÖPGV)
Background.
German municipalities generate large amounts of data every day, but most do not manage to use it strategically. The implementation of data-based municipal solutions in cooperation with GovTech companies (providers in the area of government technology) is also associated with major challenges. In view of the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the administration and at the same time growing expectations of digital administrative services, there is an urgent need for action here.
Project goal.
The ÖPGV project is creating a digital platform that serves as a tool to cut the Gordian knot of data processing in public administration. The aim is to develop data-based services for data processing in order to define standards for data and interfaces, provide tools for data conversion and establish rules for their handling. Such public digital platforms without commercial operators have been little researched to date. In order to ensure that the planned platform is actually used, non-monetary incentives for engagement on the platform are considered in particular.
