How ‘govtech’ can transform the future — one community at a time

Over the past few years, new government technology, dubbed “govtech,” has emerged to help public officials improve people’s daily lives. Properly implemented, it can help officials build the better world we all deserve.

To shed light on how new technologies can make a significant impact, Mastercard hosted its inaugural GovTech Idea conference this month, bringing together around 80 policymakers, civil servants, international organizations, innovators and thought leaders to discuss how tech and digitization can drive greater efficiencies in administration, enhance transparency, and deliver more inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
