17、ology)will be a central catalyst in transforming public service delivery.The main objective of this report is to measure the potential of GovTech,given its profound public impact(see A1).Furthermore,this report presents insights from seven country case studies,illustrating current GovTech initiative
18、s,potential impact areas and the important role it already plays today.1.GovTech is entering a new eraGovTech refers to the design and application of technological products and services in public institutions.While governments have consistently adopted technology to modernize operations,the scale,sp
19、eed and scope of what is possible in the next decade is unprecedented.Many of the technologies now available for the public sector offer the ability to create comprehensive systems that streamline government functions and interactions with both citizens and businesses.These tools no longer operate i
20、n isolation but are part of interconnected frameworks capable of transforming public administration.Simultaneously,governments worldwide face pressing challenges that will be difficult to address without the adoption of GovTech solutions.This convergence of technological capability and governmental
21、needs presents a unique opportunity for GovTech.However,the transition into this new era will not be uniform,with certain countries advancing in some areas while others prioritize different facets of technological adoption.The evolution of GovTech will thus be both gradual and varied,reflecting dive
22、rse governmental contexts and priorities globally.2.GovTech presents a$9.8 trillion opportunity for global public impact The GovTech market is expected to expand from$606 billion in 2024 to$1.4 trillion by 2034,creating a$9.8 trillion opportunity to generate public value in 2034.This opportunity wil
23、l be realized through the three key value drivers:Efficiency gains:Streamlining processes,reducing costs and improving service quality Transparency gains:Enhancing accountability in process,reducing corruption and building public trust Sustainability gains:Optimizing resources,cutting waste and supp
24、orting environmental sustainabilityA true GovTech transformation promises far-reaching benefits,from more efficient resource allocation and data-driven decision-making to the creation of new value across public services.By streamlining processes and improving accountability,governments could deliver
25、 faster,more responsive services tailored to the needs of their populations.Beyond its immediate impact on governance,GovTech stands to spur innovation across sectors,job creation and global economic growth.In this sense,GovTech is not just a tool for modernizing bureaucracy;it emerges as a potent e
26、ngine for globalprogress.3.For GovTech to reach its full potential,decisive action is needed Realizing the potential of GovTech requires strategic and decisive action,tailored to the regional,constitutional and political landscape of each country.This report explores how Azerbaijan,Bahrain,Brazil,Ge
27、rmany,Malaysia,Rwanda and Ukraine are modernizing their public sectors.Across these case studies,a theme emerges:to fully realize GovTech,governments must build robust IT infrastructure,futureproof public services,promote closer public-private collaboration and maintain a strong focus on citizen-cen
28、tric solutions.This approach is not just about digitizing processes it is about rethinking how governments can better serve their people.The true potential of GovTech lies in its profound public impact.The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity4Why GovTech?Why now?1GovTech is at
29、a critical juncture as advancements in technology intersect with evolving public expectations.The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity5GovTech(short for government technology)is the design and application of technological products and services in public institutions to improve
30、public service delivery.As such,GovTech has enormous potential to create a more responsive,inclusive,transparent and better-performing public sector that better meets citizens needs.The evolution of GovTech:from isolated projects to digital public infrastructureThe use of technology in the public se
31、ctor is not a recent phenomenon.Efforts to improve efficiency by applying the technological capabilities of the time have been under way since the 1970s and 1980s,typically focused on isolated functions.These early moves were fragmented and limited to individual projects.The arrival of the internet
32、in the 1990s expanded the toolkit,allowing governments to offer basic information on static websites.By the early 2000s,the focus shifted to more complex,interactive systems,enabling citizens to access services such as filing taxes or school admission online.The commercialization of key technologies
33、,along with the scalability of cloud infrastructure,has greatly amplified the impact of what is now referred to as GovTech,far exceeding the potential seen in previous decades.New technologies like artificial intelligence(AI),virtual reality or the internet of things(IoT)can now be embedded within g
34、overnment workflows.For instance,AI-powered analytics can optimize resource allocation in healthcare,ensuring medical supplies and personnel are sent to areas of critical need.Geographic information systems(GIS)enhance urban planning by using real-time,location-specific data to improve zoning and in
35、frastructure.Looking ahead,quantum computing could transform government operations even further,offering rapid data analysis to solve complex problems in areas such as healthcare,climate change and national security.1These new technological opportunities are increasingly embraced by governments worl
36、dwide.Estonia,for instance,has digitized 99%of its public services,enabling citizens to access everything from voting to healthcare online through the e-Estonia programme.In the United Kingdom,digital transformation efforts are expected to save over$1.3 billion by 2025 as departments invest in cutti
37、ng-edge technology,such as the National Digital Twin Programme to support climate change modelling and in blockchain technology to enhance supply chain efficiency.2 Meanwhile,in Germany,immersive technologies are beginning to be used to improve law enforcement.Police in Lower Saxony and Aalen use vi
38、rtual environments to enhance training simulations and crime scene analysis,improving both efficiency and community engagement.This transition heralds a new era for GovTech,where value creation extends beyond merely digitizing processes or automating tasks.The focus now lies on building digital publ
39、ic infrastructure(DPI)and digital public goods(DPGs),creating safe and inclusive participation in markets and society.When GovTech solutions can build on foundational digital capabilities,such as digital identity systems and payment platforms,they enable individuals and organizations to create new c
40、ross-sectoral services that drive new value creation across the economy.Indias Aadhaar system is one such illustration of this transformative potential.Next-generation GovTech solutions can be geared towards developing DPGs,sometimes including open-source tools and standards designed to promote sust
41、ainable development.GovTech ushers in a new era of public sector innovation,ready to address the complex,interrelated challenges of the 21st century and set a path towards more effective,equitable and sustainable governance for all.6The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion OpportunityThe p
42、romise of GovTech:empowering governments to lead in the intelligent ageGovTechs growing importance directly correlates with governments need for innovative solutions to manage an increasingly complex set of challenges.Internally,many governments are grappling with talent shortages,constrained budget
43、s and legacy systems,which undermine their ability to deliver.Externally,a cascade of global challenges ranging from climate change-induced extreme weather and rising sea levels to resource scarcity and global health crises demand unprecedented levels of government coordination and action within and
44、 across the borders of nation states.These issues are not only about addressing immediate threats but also about shaping a sustainable,equitable future.Digital technologies profoundly changed the way societies communicate and interact,radically reshaping not only industries and markets but the very
45、structure of society itself.They also fuelled the growing importance and influence of technology companies whose services and infrastructures have become indispensable for modern societies.As tech companies expand their influence,they often operate in domains that were once firmly in the public sect
46、ors grasp,leaving governments,traditionally slow-moving,struggling to keep pace.The rapid pace of technological progress,coupled with the linear and slow adoption of technology within public administration,has led to missed opportunities and increased risks,creating a narrative of governmental ineff
47、icacy.In the wake of pressing challenges,from climate change to economic inequality and safeguarding public safety,states can appear ill-equipped and immobilized.GovTech offers a transformative pathway forward.It is not merely about governments catching up with technology but about seizing the oppor
48、tunity to modernize and re-create strength from within.By embracing a strategic digitization agenda,governments can reassert their capacity to deliver services effectively,form partnerships on equal footing with technology providers and create new infrastructure that benefits all stakeholders in soc
49、iety.Public institutions that are technologically adept will not only improve their operational effectiveness but also be better equipped to uphold ethical,human-centred standards for future technological developments.This approach holds the potential to ensure that technological advancements are ap
50、plied in ways that are both inclusive and responsible,creating societal benefits that reach far beyond economic gains.The digital transformation of economies and societies has left governments struggling to keep up.GovTech ushers in a new era of public-sector innovation,ready to address the complex,

54、ech market,which is projected to more than double from$606 billion today,3 to$1.42 trillion by 2034(see Figure 1;see section A3 on page 29 for methodology behind theanalysis).4This projected expansion is fuelled by multiple factors.Advances in AI,data analytics and cloud computing have opened new pa
55、thways for optimizing public service delivery.For example,AI-powered platforms now streamline everything from tax processing to land registry,significantly reducing human error and operational costs.In the United States,the federal government has deployed AI to detect financial fraud and potential i
56、nsider trading,resulting in savings of millions of dollars annually.5 Governments are also responding to rising public expectations for seamless,personalized and efficient services akin to what consumers experience in other sectors.The demand for government services to match the user-friendliness of
57、 widely available commercial technology,such as banking apps or online shopping platforms,is placing pressure on public institutions to innovate.The legal and regulatory environment is another demand driver for GovTech solutions as governments are enacting frameworks that not only facilitate the ado
58、ption of emerging technologies but also ensure their responsible and secure use.As aresult,public-private collaborations are increasingly playing a critical role in GovTech innovation.9The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion OpportunityAmid this significant growth potential,it is crucial
59、to recognize the expansive and multifaceted nature of the GovTech market,which extends far beyond traditional government functions.Although often associated with IT solutions,GovTech encompasses a much broader range of services across various governmental sectors.The markets horizontal structure spa

71、ustainability.The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity11The potential of GovTech is often measured by market size and investment opportunities.Yet this report takes a deeper dive,spotlighting a dimension thats often overlooked:the social and economic returns on successful GovTe
72、ch investments(see section A3 on page 29 for methodology behind theanalysis).The report identifies three main drivers of public value:efficiency gains,transparency gains and sustainability gains.Each plays a distinctive role in reshaping how governments interact with and serve their citizens:Efficie
73、ncy gains:The application of technology to automate processes and optimize resource allocation can streamline government operations,reduce costs and accelerate service delivery.Engaging citizens via digital platforms can provide valuable feedback,leading to more user-friendly services and improving
74、overall service quality andsatisfaction.Transparency gains:Adoption of digital tools such as e-procurement systems,e-invoices and digital IDs increases transparency within government operations.These technologies enable participation,promote competition and help mitigate corruption by making transac
75、tions and processes visible and traceable,reducing the risk of loopholes and ensuring compliance with legal frameworks.Sustainability gains:Technological solutions can promote environmental sustainability by helping monitor and manage natural resources.Digitizing public services reduces reliance on
76、resources,from paper to fuel,directly minimizing the environmental footprint of the public sector,which,across virtually all developed economies,continues to be the largest employer.This shift not only contributes to sustainability goals but also supports broader efforts towards responsible resource
77、 management and sustainable development.6 Considering the combined impact of these value drivers,GovTech is poised to deliver$9.8trillion in public value by 2034,showcasing the transformative potential for public administration and the wider economy.Overview of GovTech value drivers and the total Go

85、savings over 10 years while enhancing operational efficiency through the digitization of public services.Similarly,Azerbaijans e-visa system has reduced application processing times from several days to just three hours,while the introduction of digital contracts has cut administrative processes fro
86、m 3-4 days to about 15 minutes.Rwandas IremboGov offers a government-to-citizen platform that simplifies access to over 98 public services from various ministries,such as health insurance registration and national ID applications.By reducing paperwork and streamlining interactions,the platform has s
87、aved an estimated 50 million working hours for citizens who no longer need to visit government offices.In Bahrain,the Sijilat 3.0 platform provides an efficient,centralized solution for investors and businesses,enabling them to apply for,renew or modify commercial licences in one single system.By co
88、nsolidating processes that once required visits to multiple entities and regulators,Sijilat 3.0 eliminates bureaucratic hurdles,making business registration more efficientand accessible.These examples show how governments can redirect public spending to improve the quality,delivery and efficiency of
89、 services.This sets off a virtuous cycle:greater efficiency boosts citizen trust and satisfaction,which in turn strengthens publicinstitutions.7 13The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity3.2 Transparency gainsA lack of transparency and corruption costs the global economy an est
90、imated 5%of GDP(gross domestic product)every year,8 stunting economic growth and eroding trust in public institutions.The potential of GovTech in combating corruption is substantial.It is estimated that such solutions could reduce the financial toll of corruption by as much as 10%,potentially saving
91、$1.1 trillion by 2034(see Figure 2;see section A3 on page 29 for methodology behind the analysis).In Ukraine,the Unified State Electronic System in the Construction Sector(USESCS)has brought transparency to the construction process,covering the entire project life cycle and reducing corruption risks
92、.The system allows individuals,businesses and government bodies to interact electronically,verify real estate details and track public fund expenditures.Azerbaijans e-Court System has transformed the judicial process by providing a digital platform where citizens can track court cases,submit documen
93、ts electronically and participate in virtual hearings.This system enhances judicial transparency by reducing delays and limiting opportunities for manipulation or malpractice,reinforcing confidence in the legal process.By adopting digital solutions like open data platforms,e-billing,e-procurement an
94、d secure digital records,governments can bring greater visibility and accountability to their operations.These technologies promote transparency,empower citizens with access to information and help rebuild trust in public services an essential element for sustainable economic development.In Azerbaij
95、an,the Azerbaijan Service and Assessment Network(ASAN)appeal information system exemplifies this potential by allowing citizens to report infrastructure and environmental issues directly to relevant authorities,enhancing participation in public administration and enabling faster responses to pressin
96、g concerns.Bahrains Open Data Portal reflects a commitment to transparency,offering free access to more than 390 datasets from various government sectors.By making non-sensitive data publicly available,the initiative encourages collaboration and innovation,giving citizens and businesses the tools to
97、 address societal challenges and contribute to publicdiscourse.3.3 Sustainability gainsGovTech is set to play a critical role in sustainability and climate change mitigation by encouraging responsible environmental stewardship.By digitizing public sector operations,reducing resource consumption and
98、enhancing the effectiveness of government services,GovTech is advancing sustainability goals.The stakes are high:without decisive action,the economic cost of climate inaction including the direct costs of environmental damage,disaster response and the long-term impacts on productivity could reach 20
99、%of global annual GDP.9 Studies suggest that digital solutions,if scaled across industries,could reduce global emissions by as much as 20%.10 Equally,digital solutions offer governments a pathway to both reduce the environmental toll of their own operations and accelerate climate action across the e
100、conomy.While earlier digital efforts often focused on the reduction of paper use,other factors such as remote work,efficient building management and reduced vehicle emissions are crucial in making the public sector less resource-intensive.Over the next decade,such sustainability-focused efficiencies
101、 could amount to savings of$2.9 trillion(see Figure 2;see section A3 on page 29 for methodology behind the analysis).In Berlin,the local government is harnessing data-driven visualizations and dashboards to guide decision-making on sustainability goals,enabling more effective resource management.Mea
102、nwhile,in Malaysia,the government is helping small-and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs)digitize their operations,providing tools that improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.In Ukraine,the EcoSystem platform empowers citizens to report environmental hazards in real time,allowing authorities t
103、o quickly assess and respond to emerging threats.These examples illustrate how governments worldwide are embracing technology not just to improve governance but to drive tangible progress on sustainability a critical imperative in the face of escalating environmental challenges.Over the next decade,
104、sustainability focused gains could amount to savings of$2.9 trillion.By 2034,GovTech can help reduce transparency costs by 15%which could amount to savings of$1.1 trillion.The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity14GovTech in action:country cases for implementation4A deeper look

200、act of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion Opportunity24GovTech is not just about digitizing processes;it is also about reimagining the public sector as the operating system of society,where technology can unlock unprecedented value for all.The“why GovTech?”argument is compelling:governments worldwide are under
201、increasing pressure to improve the efficiency,transparency and responsiveness of public services.GovTech offers a clear path to meeting these demands,with the potential to transform the way governments operate,deliver services and engage with their citizens.As GovTech evolves towards integrated syst
202、ems,a whole-of-government approach will facilitate inter-agency collaboration,creating flexible and agile interoperable systems.While the projected GovTech opportunity($9.8 trillion by 2034)is enormous,the“what”and“how”of implementing GovTech pose significant challenges for governments.Navigating th
203、e“what”involves a complex decision-making process:the GovTech market is broad,covering everything from digital identity systems and AI-driven analytics to smart infrastructure and public health technologies.Governments must carefully assess their needs,priorities and capabilities before deciding whi
204、ch solutions best suit their challenges.Unlike the private sector,where digital transformation is often rapid,the public sector faces unique constraints related to policy,politics,public accountability and service inclusiveness.This makes the task of identifying appropriate technologies more nuanced
205、,as governments must ensure that these solutions are aligned with a complex array of policy objectives and meet the diverse needs of their populations.The real challenge lies in the“how”integrating new GovTech solutions into existing government systems.Many public administrations still partially rel
206、y on outdated,fragmented legacy systems that are not easily compatible with modern digital solutions.Overhauling these systems is a complex,costly and time-consuming process,requiring technical upgrades and organizational change.Governments must rethink workflows,governance structures and service de
207、livery models to realize the full potential of GovTech.This shift will require significant coordination across government departments and agencies,as well as strong leadership,to drive these changes.In addition to the technical challenges,governments must address critical data security and privacy i
208、ssues.As public services become increasingly digitized,protecting citizens sensitive data is paramount.Regulatory compliance,cybersecurity and trust in government systems are critical issues that must be carefully managed to avoid breaches of public trust.In addition,governments need to build infras
209、tructures that are not only secure but also resilient to the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats.Failure to do so could lead to costly security breaches and undermine public confidence in the very systems designed to better serve them.GovTech implementation will also revolve around choosing
210、the right delivery model.Building everything in-house can often be just as impractical as fully outsourcing,so finding the right balance will be a strategic priority for governments.Collaboration with the private sector will be crucial to the success of GovTech projects,as many of the most advanced
211、solutions in AI,data analytics and cloud computing are being developed by private companies.Governments must collaborate with innovators to access cutting-edge technology while balancing innovation with public control.It is important to avoid overreliance on private technology providers and to ensur
212、e that key public interests,such as data sovereignty and equitable access to services,are protected.Governments must rethink workflows,governance structures and service delivery models to realize the full potential ofGovTech.25The Global Public Impact of GovTech:A$9.8 Trillion OpportunityWhile the“w
