ABOUT FESTIVAL
< GovTech_Festival />
GovTech Festival (GTF) is a unique gathering and celebration of digital, technology-driven, and innovative initiatives and solutions. Our goal is to gather all tech-savvy and curious people, from different age categories and regions of Poland and the world. There is no digital divide. We want to engage all to participate!
This year the GovTech Festival is the alternative for the UN-led stationary Internet Governance Forum 2020 (IGF), which is postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that, we want to celebrate and meet you!
“IGF Day Zero” marks a symbolic opening of the Festival. It constitutes the kick-off of our “Year Zero”. We want to make it the “preparatory year” for the IGF 2021 hosted by Poland, so we can extend the digital festivities. It is crucial to ensure the engagement and the participation of the IGF community in our GT Festival.
Talking about technology and innovative thinking, we see moving the agenda forum to the Internet as an opportunity, rather than an obstacle. It only proves the need and the change of the modern way of working, studying, debating, and maintaining relationships with family and friends!
