GovTech 2025 is the 16th edition of South Africa’s world-class platform for private and public sector ICT industry, other industries ICT stakeholders and relevant governance and citizens stakeholder engagements. The vision has been revised to being ”An ICT thought leadership platform driving collaboration, innovation, and solutions for a digitally transformed, citizen-centric government”. The revised vision focuses on:
- Policy advocacy
- Innovation scale-up from GovTech showcases
- Skills development for public sector officials and other relevant stakeholders
- Inclusive platform building with youth, SMMEs, and regional bodies
This year the conference seeks to focus not only on hosting a great event as we always do without outcomes . The conference therefore seeks to focus on pivoting from GovTech the Event to GovTech the programme, making the conference a strategic resource for SITA and the public service. The focus of the conference will also be on delivering tangible outcomes and not just having discussions about various topics. Most importantly GovTech seeks to be positioned as a “year-round enabler and convener”
