Overview
The Next Gen Digital State (NGDS) researchgroup addresses the technological complexitiesof how governments can satisfy the currentand future needs of their citizens. We focus ondigital government ecosystems by investigatingtechnologies that support digital transformation,innovation and implementation.Our research group collaborates with Estonianand international public sector agencies, ministries, and departments for developing nextgeneration government technology throughcutting edge research topics focused on artificialintelligence architecture, requirements engineering, data analytics, and understanding thesocio-economic effects of technological implementation. We strive to be on the forefront of publicsector innovation research.
