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
In recent years, the federal government has invested billions in the digitalization of the administration – but has this spending been effective? [...] In fact, digital projects in the administration are still often planned according to technical requirements, budgets and responsibilities. But the real yardstick for digitalization should be a different one: Does it work for people? [...] It is precisely this measurable added value that we at DigitalService call digital return. It is created when digital processes are designed in a smart, user-centred and sustainable way.
