About the Event: The primary objective of this seminar series is to illuminate how local governments can collaborate to deliver joint services, exhibit greater adaptability in the face of technological and organizational shifts, and introduce innovative services in line with prominent industry trends, such as predictive analytics, autonomous vehicles, and artificial intelligence. The seminar series will explore how governments can effectively cater to the current and future service delivery needs of their citizens, with a keen focus on digital government ecosystems and the technologies that underpin digital transformation, innovation, and implementation. By drawing upon real Estonian case studies, we aim to uncover parallels that may exist at the local level in the Bay Area, shedding light on the scalability of digital solutions.

Part 2:  Seamless Public Services & Extending the “Smart City” Concept to Small-to-Medium Sized Municipalities

The success of service digitalization hinges on trust in public institutions, robust public-private partnerships, and a commitment to continuous experimentation and learning. We will explore how these factors transform government processes, identify the primary enablers, and unravel the concept of proactive services. Additionally, implementation of the AI among government processes will be discussed.
 
We will also focus on how to make innovative solutions available for the very small, small and medium-size municipalities. We will also describe the process of identifying urban challenges and then piloting them in European cities.
