Transforming Ontario's Digital Future Through Bold Innovation
Ontario is evolving from Gov 2.0 to Gov 3.0—transforming how government delivers intelligent, integrated public services through digital modernization and citizen-centered governance.
AI, advanced analytics, and automation enable Ontario to enhance efficiency and build a more responsive public sector. Gov 3.0 means AI-enabled systems that predict citizen needs, interoperable platforms that eliminate silos, and adaptive services accessible to all Ontarians.
This shift demands a culture of innovation and digital literacy across the Ontario Public Service, and solutions shaped by the province's diversity and scale. Ontario must balance innovation with accessibility, efficiency with equity, and progress with trust.
Ontario leaders face critical questions: How do we use generative AI ethically while protecting privacy? How do we transform legacy systems into seamless platforms? How do we lead through change while maintaining public trust?
Government Innovation Week Ontario equips provincial leaders with strategies and insights to drive this transformation. Together, we're building a future that reflects Ontario's values and ensures resilient, responsive governance for all residents.
