Launching the event, Global Government Forum chief executive Kevin Sorkin said that the conference would build upon the connections made at the Innovation conferences held in 2019 and 2020.
He said: “Innovation 2023 will help civil servants from a range of key professions and functions, and from countries around the world, to promote and develop new approaches to policymaking and service delivery.
“Innovation demands collaboration, understanding and mutual support, addressing barriers and tensions across the system. Drawing on the expertise and views of all those attending, Innovation 2023 presents a unique opportunity to explore these keys to innovation with colleagues from around the world.”
