Reimagining Governance: The 2024 G7 Blueprint for Digital Transformation

In the 2024 Verona and Trento Declaration, G7 Digital Ministers recognised how AI and digital systems can transform public services. They also stressed the importance of global collaboration on digital identity, public infrastructure, and sharing success stories. Enter the G7 Digital Government Compendium - a showcase of innovative approaches by G7 members and Ukraine to modernise public services and make governments more citizen-friendly.

What’s in the Compendium?

The report covers four main areas:

1. Digital Identity Solutions - Examples of digital IDs that simplify and secure access to public services.
2. Data Sharing in Government - How systems like open government data and registries streamline information flow to improve public services.
3. Other Innovations in Digital Government - Highlights creative digital tools and initiatives that make government services easier to access.
4. Key Enablers - Insights into what drives success, from strong infrastructure to thoughtful policy.

Why It Matters

The Compendium shows how G7 nations are leveraging technology to improve public service delivery, enhance citizen experiences, and make government more inclusive. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—the diversity of strategies reflects how digital solutions can be tailored to each country’s unique needs.

What’s Next?

This Compendium sets the stage for future G7 discussions on creating digital-first governments that are proactive and resilient, especially during crises. By learning from G7 members and Ukraine, it offers a global playbook for smarter governance.
