Making life easier for citizens and companies
The Ministry promotes general technological development in areas that are crucial for the economy and develops new strategies to help our country move forward and improve our daily lives and the various administrative processes. A significant part of the activities of the Ministry for Digitalisation are aimed at making people's lives easier.
The Ministry is a "facilitator" and a coordinator for ministries and other partners wishing to develop their digital activities.
Opting for open innovation
The government intends to continue working towards achieving greater transparency and increased involvement of Luxembourg's citizens.
It is in that spirit that the Ministry for Digitalisation relies on an "open innovation” approach. Open innovation is widely defined as "the deliberate input and output of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation” and is therefore diametrically opposed to a closed innovation process. In fact, the advent of the digital age and the digital revolution of our society have revolutionized our everyday lives. Widespread Internet access is dramatically transforming the relationships between state, citizens and companies thanks to instant and seamless connectivity.
Open innovation is about gathering ideas, skills or innovative technologies from external actors to foster innovation of the public services. This approach has inspired so-called collaborative innovation actions, which involve looking from outside the box for ways to innovate, such as seeking new concepts, technological solutions or qualified counsel.
Making digital government a success
As advocated by international bodies, the Ministry for Digitalisation has set itself the goal of successfully achieving digital government. To achieve this goal, it has set out several high-priority strategic axes:
- Developing eGovernment,
- Advancing administrative reform,
- Promoting digital inclusion,
- Ensuring data governance.
