Berlin, March 16, 2022
The establishment of the DigitalService is progressing successfully. The federal government's digitalization unit, which was launched in October 2020, is gaining sought-after experts to work on the digital state. With Stephanie Kaiser, an experienced IT manager and member of the Federal Government's Digital Council (Chief Product Officer), Martin Jordan from the UK Government Digital Service (Head of Design) and Anna-Lisa Obermann (Head of People) from Blinkist, the DigitalService has also completed its management team.
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 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.
