ABOUT
Elets Technomedia in association with Microsoft India, is organising ‘Future Ready Bharat - Digital Governance Summit’ - a series of in-person deliberations to make governments more agile in scaling their technology adoption for bringing efficiency, transparency and accountability in governance.
The Karnataka edition will be held on 23 September 2022 at The Lalit Ashok, Bangalore.
From computerisation of government departments to the online delivery of citizen services, India has come a long way. To catch pace with ever-evolving digital trends and be future-ready for newer challenges, the public sector needs to give constant impetus to innovation & technology adoption across the key sectors. The Digital Governance State Summit – Karnataka edition, which is scheduled to be held on 23 September 2022, will present unique insights into smart solutions and the best practices imperative to strengthen e-governance.
The one-day summit will witness the participation of top leaders from government and technology experts.
Join us to explore a fresh approach to smart governance!
