The GovTech Summit Berlin 2025 is a major public conference dedicated to advancing digital public services and government technology innovation. Organised by GovTech Campus Deutschland, Germany's leading hub for public sector digitalisation, the summit takes place on 20–21 November 2025 in Berlin and brings together public sector innovators, civic technology start-ups, researchers, policymakers, and digital government practitioners from across Europe.
The GovTech Campus serves as a unique collaboration space where government agencies, technology companies, and research institutions work together to develop and test digital solutions for public administration. The summit extends this mission to a broader audience, featuring a dynamic programme of hackathons, start-up demonstrations, policy roundtables, and keynote presentations focused on the most pressing challenges in digital government. Key themes include the application of artificial intelligence in public services, cloud infrastructure for government, digital identity and citizen authentication, interoperability of public sector IT systems, and the scaling of successful pilot projects across federal, state, and municipal levels.
Attendees can expect hands-on engagement with cutting-edge prototypes and proofs of concept developed at the GovTech Campus, as well as opportunities to connect with the growing ecosystem of civic technology companies working to modernise government operations. The summit also addresses the cultural and organisational dimensions of digital transformation, exploring how public institutions can attract digital talent and adopt agile working methods.
This event is particularly relevant for government digital leaders, civic tech entrepreneurs, public administration researchers, and anyone working at the intersection of technology and public service delivery. Berlin's position as Germany's political capital and a thriving technology hub makes it the natural home for this important gathering of the European GovTech community.
