The Tech / Govtech

Govtech

In the Civic Tech Field Guide, we primarily focus on examples of govtech that seek to improve society to make it more just and democratic, not just more digital or efficient. We recognize that this is a subjective, values-based perspective of govtech. There is a much larger government IT industry that exceeds this focus.
