The digital transformation of nations, guided by the Digital First Principle, is oriented towards modernising multiple sectors that embrace technology, such as AI models and blockchain, as a revolutionary motor for innovation, growth, enhancement of digital tools, and process simplification. As Europe tries to improve its startup ecosystem and explore all the potentialities of high-performance computing tools, it is crucial for governments to accompany such efforts. In this realm, countries are preparing their public platforms for the Digital First Principle.
Substandard 8.1 — Digital First
The digitalisation of States and public services has a substantial impact on the daily activities of startups and on their interactions with public administrations. It is therefore important that the innovation ecosystem in which startups operate is as efficient and digital as possible.
Substandard 8.2 — Knowledge Sharing
Given the high level of innovation provided by startups, the implementation of communication channels between startups and public entities has the potential to accelerate the digitalisation process and to achieve greater efficiency in public services. Best practice exchanges should be promoted, benefiting both startups and public organisations.
