The factsheet by NALAS and KDZ explores how Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) and GovTech solutions can drive digital transformation in local governments across the Western Balkans and Moldova. It emphasizes the importance of partnerships between municipalities, start-ups, and innovation ecosystems to modernize public services and align with EU digital goals.
Key recommendations include:
- Strengthening collaboration with DIHs and start-ups
- Promoting EU funding programs like Digital Europe and Horizon Europe
- Creating “adaptive spaces” for innovation and cross-sector cooperation
- Enhancing digital skills and agile capacities in local administrations
The publication calls for structured, inclusive frameworks to enable innovation, improve service delivery, and support sustainable development at the local level. The factsheet is a product of the BACID project with funding from the Austrian Development Cooperation.
