Sunshine in beautiful #Vilnius! Hats off to the GovTech Lab Lithuania team (Kamila Gasinska and Arūnė Urtė Matelytė ) for organising a great event at the Baltic GovTech Leaders conference last Thursday. It was a great programme with insights from a spectrum of countries on themes of #automation #ai #cybersecurity #cocreation #entrepreneurship. #govtech brings out so much passion in people.

Alexander Holt was delighted to represent The Scottish Government and The GovTech Global Alliance with a keynote on public/private co-operation and #innovationdiplomacy followed by chairing a session with “real life co-creators“. Two great case studies from Lithuania with Vaidotas Ramonas Ovidijus Balkauskas
Kamilė Niunevaitė Paulius Juočeris, as well as a Scottish contingent Jayne Golding HITRANS and Matthew Kendrick from The Routing Company. (See session from 2:20:54 on the recording. ) https://lnkd.in/g-_SWAKe
