Meet E-GOV Owl: governments' digital transformation report
EU Tech Loop launches a new project - a bi-annual overview of digital transformation news from across the Central Eastern Europe
Our new project - ‘E-GOV OWL: CEE edition’ explores the digital transformation journeys of eleven EU Member States in the Central Eastern Europe, highlighting the most important institutional and legislative changes over the recent year. We also showcase the most innovative campaigns that aid digital transformation in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovenia.
Why did we launch this initiative?
We believe in that digital transformations should not be an end in itself. They have to be fast, brave and tangibly improve citizens’ lives while cutting red tape whenever possible.
Digital transformation should not mean merely digitizing old and rigid bureaucracy. Instead, countries should seize it as an opportunity to simplify processes for both citizens and public service - offline and online.
We support a rules-based international order and believe digital transformation should not compromise security by relying on high-risk vendors.
Democratizing the digital agenda debate is important. We firmly believe that knowledge exchange should be more inclusive and accessible.
Despite past successes, many Central Eastern European countries lag behind the European Union average in various digital transformation parameters—and learning from each other’s experiences is key.
CEE’s digital transformation experience is easily applicable in other regions of the world. Therefore, good (and bad) practices in digital transformation should be shared freely.
This bulletin is launched by ‘EU Tech Loop’ - a techreg blog powered by the Consumer Choice Center Europe. We hope you enjoy this issue and we are open to your suggestions for the next one!
