About DigitalService

As the digitalization partner for public administration, DigitalService has set itself the goal of sustainably advancing the digital transformation of Germany. The aim is to make user-centered digital services the standard in public administration.

To achieve this, DigitalService works closely with the federal government to develop and operate innovative digital solutions through interdisciplinary teams while establishing the necessary foundations. Even before DigitalService was founded, the Tech4Germany and Work4Germany fellowship programs brought technical and methodological expertise to the administration, helping to bring the benefits of new working methods to life and improve the implementation of digitalization projects.

DigitalService was established in October 2020 as a federally owned limited liability company and is wholly owned by the federal government. It emerged from the non-profit start-up 4Germany, which was founded in 2019.

Sooner or later: For a digital Germany – a column by Christina Lang

New coalition, new digital policy: the task now is to get a strategy for a digital Germany on track. I hope that we don't fall into typical patterns and get caught up in theoretical constructs, battles over responsibilities and assumptions that are far removed from the reality of the people we work for. [...] So how should we approach complex digitalization projects? Are there other ways out of theory? We show that there are: Yes, there are!
