Berlin Global Advisors (BGA) attended Smart Country Convention 2026 in Berlin, engaging in discussions on the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in the public sector.

Representing BGA, Consultant Julian Gläser exchanged perspectives with stakeholders from politics, business, and public administration on the potential of artificial intelligence, innovative digital technologies, and more efficient administrative processes. Discussions also explored how public funding programmes and modern procurement procedures can accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies across the public sector.

A key takeaway from Smart Country Convention 2026 was that successful digital transformation requires more than simply providing technological infrastructure. The effective integration of digital solutions into existing workflows, the development of digital competencies within public administration, and the establishment of appropriate organisational frameworks are essential to improving administrative efficiency and achieving sustainable modernisation.

The convention provided a valuable platform for professional exchange, offering fresh perspectives and insights into advancing digital government and public sector innovation.
