The GovTech Innovation Exchange enables the Federal Administration to look for innovative solutions to the current challenges of digital transformation. Various Federal Administration offices have submitted examples of such challenges (see below). The Federal Chancellery is looking for start-ups that are developing solutions to these challenges.
The Federal Administration can test new ideas by developing prototypes or carrying out pilot tests. For their part, start-ups offer innovative approaches but have less market visibility than traditional providers.
To enable start-ups and Federal Administration offices to develop innovative solutions together, the DTI Sector of the Federal Chancellery is organising another Innovation Exchange in 2025. By doing so, the Federal Administration is responding to a request from Parliament to examine innovative ideas and implement them quickly where appropriate.
The Innovation Exchange offers start-ups the opportunity to engage in dialogue with offices of the Federal Administration. In return, this dialogue provides participating offices with an overview of highly innovative solutions available on the market. The ideas developed during the Innovation Exchange may then lead to concrete implementation orders.
