Join us for an in-depth exploration of how innovation partnerships are shaping digital citizen engagement in the public sector. These collaborations bring together public administrations, private sector actors, academia, and civil society organizations to develop technological solutions that empower citizens and enhance participatory governance.
This webinar will highlight how civic tech organizations, city governments, and public sector innovators co-create and implement emerging technologies for citizen participation — while addressing critical challenges such as data privacy, accessibility, trust, resource constraints, and system interoperability.

Insights into successful innovation partnerships in digital democracy;
Strategies for overcoming common challenges in civic tech adoption; and
Real-world examples of collaboration between governments and civic tech leaders.
