The main challenges facing the market:

• Citizens and companies are demanding that administrations provide an increasing range of online services, which entails simplifying administrative processes;
• The digital strategies of states are moving beyond their own borders and must therefore be integrated at a European level in order to be more effective.

Our goals:

• To support the efficacy of the public sector by working with it to develop new services, e-services and e-infrastructures;
• To develop innovation in public management, on an organisational level or based on human capital;
• To develop scientific expertise in this field that is recognised at an international level;
• To increase the quality and interoperability of public services and e-services (usability, user-centricity & security), and to do so on the basis of international standards;
• To support the Ministry of Public Administration and Administrative Reform in its action plan in line with European strategy;
• To support the key players in the public sector in their efforts towards a coherent and integrated digital strategy at European level.

The programme's ambition is to be a place of "open innovation", mobilising all of the key players in public management, but also a scientific benchmark recognised at European level, and the bridge connecting Luxembourg to various European initiatives.

The PUBLIC SERVICES innovation programme mobilises key actors in the following areas:

• New services, e-services and e-infrastructures for the public sector
• Innovation in public management and policy support
• Organisation and change management within the public sector
• Interoperability and European integration of public services
