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

We are celebrating our birthday: five years of DigitalService! I still remember the early days well: it all started with our Tech4Germany and Work4Germany fellowship programs. In 2020, we took a decisive step forward when the federal government took us on board, and in October of that year, we began setting up an internal product development unit. Since then, our goal has been clear: to create a digital, modern administration that makes life easier for citizens and businesses.

Pre-event at the Digital Justice Summit: Law that works (and doesn't interfere) – How digitally compatible legislation and justice should enable the reduction of bureaucracy

In future, laws should be designed with digital technology in mind from the outset, formulated in a practical manner and made easy to implement. The digital check and the strengthening of the National Regulatory Council underline the political ambition to shape legislation in line with digital infrastructures and enforcement realities – also and especially in the field of justice. In this session, Anna Sinell, Head of Administrative Digitisation Instruments at DigitalService, together with Brigitte Zypries, Congress President of the Digital Justice Summit, Matthias Schmid, Ministerial Director at the BMJV, and Malte Spitz, member of the National Regulatory Control Council, will discuss questions such as how the digital check can be systematically integrated into the legislative process and what role the judiciary can play in identifying and reducing legal complexity.

Mini Barcamp at the Digital Justice Summit: Numbers that matter – key performance indicators for the digitisation of the justice system

Digitalisation is not an end in itself – its impact must be measurable and controllable. But how can progress in the digitisation of the justice system be quantified in concrete terms? Which key performance indicators reflect not only activity, but real change? As part of a mini barcamp with Stephanie Kaiser, Chief Product Officer at DigitalService, and Alexander Schmid, Chief Digital Officer at the Federal Chamber of Notaries, practical key figures for progress, impact and usage will be developed together – e.g. on the duration of proceedings, the use of digital access or the quality of digital services from the perspective of the judiciary and citizens.
