GovStack in Tallinn Digital Summit 2021

Watch the panel talking about building digital public infrastructure.

Globally, governments consistently reinvent the wheel in the deployment of different digital services. What if we could create reusable and interoperable building blocks that could be utilized in different governments as digital public goods? In many cases, government digital services are stuck in legacy components that do not provide the necessary flexibility and do not adapt to ever-changing conditions and expectations fast enough.

GovStack.global aims to tackle these problems on the global scale. Using world leading best practices we know we can empower governments to take ownership of their digital futures by building more effective and cost-efficient digital government services.
