Have you ever wondered why digital services provided by governments are sometimes not ideal? Whether they are safe? Have you thought about how to push the government to improve those services? Have you thought about creating digital services or applications for democracy or social good by yourself, and inviting governments to work with you? If so, FNF Global Innovation Hub’s Hacking Democracy Conference is here for you! The Conference will be on Oct 27, 2023, 8:00—11:00 a.m. UTC+8 (4:00—7:00 a.m. ET), online via Webex.

The publication “Examples of Collaboration between Government and Civic Tech Communities around The World” will be presented at the conference. It collects case studies from Germany, Indonesia, Morocco, Mexico, Tunisia, Taiwan, and the United States.

All the authors of this publication will present their studies at this Conference. By listening to the presentations of all the authors for this publication, you will learn how civic tech communities around the world successfully bring the people and governments together to co-create digital services or applications for facilitating democracy, transparency in public procurement, pandemic prevention, environmental protection, and many creative projects. Policymakers and civic tech community members can also learn what governments around the world have done to engage with or encourage civic tech projects and what else needs to be done.
