Building Regional Innovation Ecosystems (BRIE) – Digitalisation of Local Authorities

The overall aim of the project is to promote innovation in public administration at regional and local level. The aim is to stimulate innovation in three different areas:

• Generating innovation: Generating innovative ideas as responses to regional and local problems and developing them further based on a co-design approach. This will be implemented as part of a Cross-Border Innovation Lab.
• Utilising innovation: Strengthening expertise in the introduction of (digital) innovations in local authorities. This will be achieved through the development of a consultancy service for local authorities to help them develop municipal digitalisation strategies, as well as a best-practice guide on the specific topic of energy accounting in local authorities.

Implementing innovation: Developing and implementing innovative technological solutions in public administration. This will be achieved by testing a digital twin for public administration within a regional administration in Slovakia.
