The Future of Emerging Europe Summit and Awards 2022 — 23 June 2022, Brussels
Partnership — THE FUTURE OF POLITICAL INNOVATION
REDESIGNING PUBLIC SERVICES
Public sector innovation is about rethinking and reshaping public services to better serve citizens, including greater use of digital tools. Exceptional circumstances require extraordinary responses, which can lead to innovation. There have been positive developments in some parts of the emerging Europe region, but these remain the exception, not the rule.
• Why is it so difficult to introduce innovation in the public sector and what role does the private sector have to play?
• Does the region risk being left behind if it ignores digitalisation?
• Can digitalisation nurture and strengthen democracy?
• Will the lessons learnt during the Covid-19 pandemic be heeded long term?
• How can digitalisation and political innovation strengthen public sector resilience to overcome exceptional circumstances?
