Overview
Shaping the digital future together – this was the theme of the draft digital strategy adopted by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia in July 2018. In a broad-based participation process, all citizens, experts, stakeholders and associations were invited to discuss the strategy and to contribute their suggestions and assessments. Due to its cross-sectional character, all departments of the state government were involved in the process as well.
In addition to a six-week online participation as well as more complex survey and text consultation modules, a one-day “Digital.Lab” developed future visions for digital NRW. These issues were taken up again at the “Digitalkonferenz.NRW”, which brought together over 500 players from administration, business, education and civil society, and discussed further in eleven sessions.
