Germany has announced a new “citizen hackathon” aimed at replacing the country’s notorious bureaucracy with a more efficient digital public administration. The project is led by SPRIND, the federal agency developing the German national digital ID wallet and its ecosystem, and is inspired by Taiwan’s Presidential Hackathons. The 30 most important topics will move on to the next round, during which innovators and tech developers gathered in SPRIND’s Civic Tech Teams will create concrete solutions. SPRIND, fully known as the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation, has been applying similar methods to Germany’s digital ID project.
