Five behaviours for digital diffusion in EMEA—Google Cloud Public Sector Summit

This year presented many unforeseen and unthinkable global challenges. From shifting to remote work and providing essential services to affected communities to working tirelessly to keep the economy afloat. Many of us often wished there was a magic formula to help smooth these transitions. 

And while a magic formula might not exist, many governments across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) followed a common set of behaviours that helped the public sector diffuse digital technology within their organisations. These five principles included:

• Prioritising data security, privacy, and sovereignty

• Creating exciting services and experiences with artificial intelligence (AI)

• Identifying and navigating the pitfalls of application modernisation

• Viewing sustainability as a net-positive

• Putting people at the centre of cloud adoption.

At the Google Cloud Public Sector Summit on December 9, in our EMEA keynote and the sessions that follow, we’ll learn from the organisations and governments who applied these principles to navigate these difficult times, improve operational efficiency, and deliver digital solutions that serve and excite employees, customers, and citizens. Leaders from across the Public Sector will share insights and answer questions in real-time on how Google Cloud has helped them accelerate innovation when it mattered the most, to deliver outstanding public services that are secure, responsive, and efficient.  

Our EMEA-focused sessions will show you how to:

• Chart a course to digital sovereignty – delivering greater autonomy in data, operational, and software sovereignty

• Balance security and access policies – providing open and secure cloud platforms with interoperability and innovation

• Innovate whilst also driving operational efficiency? – sharing real-world experiences and insights with this panel discussion

• Improve the citizen experience – using sentiment analysis and AI and machine learning (ML) to derive intelligence from data

• Fast track infrastructure modernisation – highlights, practical tips and real-world strategies for modernising with Apigee
