GovTech Dialogue
Lessons from Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein
Beschreibung
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the State Chancellery of Schleswig-Holstein invite you to an open exchange on digitalization and digital sovereignty in the field of GovTech.
Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark are among Europe’s most dynamic players in public sector digitalization – each with distinct and complementary strengths. While Schleswig-Holstein is a frontrunner in digital sovereignty and open technologies, Denmark sets benchmarks with its advanced, user-centric digital government.
This event brings both perspectives together to enable focused exchange, mutual learning, and concrete collaboration. It is designed for those who want to understand what works in practice – and who are looking for the right partners across the border.
The Cross-Border Exchange connects public administration, GovTech, and digital innovators from both sides. Participants gain actionable insights, compare approaches, and explore opportunities for joint projects and business development.

- Public sector professionals from Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark
