GovTech Meetup: Shaping innovation together – GovTech practice from Luxembourg & new ideas in Saarland
Ï East Side Fab, Saarbrücken
Ï Thursday 26 June 2025 | 14:00-16:00
Open innovation – thinking across borders
How does innovation succeed in public administration – concretely, creatively and user-friendly? The GovTech Lab Luxembourg shows how this is done: With targeted challenges, agile formats and a strong focus on user focus, the Lab brings together administrations, developers and citizens to co-create digital solutions.
Within the GovTech Meetup in Saarbrücken present their working methods to representatives of the lab, give insight into current projects – and share learning from the implementation of innovative formats with the public sector.
We then set out our planned GovTech Hackathon 2025 before: What is this about? Who can join? And what is the roadmap up to then?
