A welfare state takes responsibility for its people and supports them when in need. When costs are rising, but budgets aren’t, government needs to find efficiency gains to maintain social protection levels. A government-commissioned report recently recommended ways to modernise social and welfare services, making them more people-friendly and less bureaucratic. Meanwhile, small and large projects are underway to make benefits services more fair and easier to navigate, and to make the state overall more equitable.
At our March meetup, we will hear about what a modern, digitally transformed welfare state looks like. We will welcome the following speakers:
- Florian Theissing, Agora Digitale Transformation
- Anja Mayr & Jakob Häußermann, DigitalService des Bundes
- Björn Mohr, Technologiestiftung Berlin
All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German. Pictures and videos will be taken.
