Thank you

Our big stage for digital innovation in the public sector

That was it, the fifth edition of the Smart Country Convention! More than 12,000 participants, over 250 partners, around 13,000 sqm exhibition space and more than 400 speakers on 4 stages – Germany's leading event for e-government, smart city and smart region was once again a complete success!

Last year the event also gathered high-ranking politicians from federal and state government, towns and municipalities. Four federal ministers – Nancy Faeser, Klara Geywitz, Cem Özdemir and Volker Wissing – attended the event, Governing Mayor of Berlin Franziska Giffey spoke on the main stage, while Kristina Sinemus, Hesse’s Minister for Digital Strategy and Georg Eisenreich, Bavaria’s Minister of Justice, were among those on the exhibition grounds in Berlin.

Austria, a role model in Smart Country affairs and last year’s partner country, set the tone over three days: Florian Tursky, Austria’s State Secretary for Digitalisation and Telecommunications, presented a major milestone in the country's public sector with the eID-based digital driving licence.

We would like to thank all visitors, speakers, exhibitors and partners. We are already looking forward to the next Smart Country Convention from 07 - 09 November 2023! We can't wait to see you in Berlin and promise to deliver you a vibrant onsite event again!
