Gateway Gov and Legal Tech Forum

@InnoDom Cologne | Weyertal 109, 50931 Köln

Tech meets administration, innovation meets law - at InnoDom Cologne!

Due to the introduction of new technologies and advancing digitalisation, public administration and the judiciary are currently undergoing an extensive transformation. If Germany is to remain attractive and competitive as one of the leading business locations, it needs an effective public sector and a judiciary that handles proceedings in a timely and efficient manner.

What role do start-ups play in smart administration and digital justice? How can they contribute to this and what challenges do they have to face? At the Gateway Förderverein event, we will shed light on current trends and developments in the fields of gov- and legal tech. We will hear from experts, stakeholders and innovative start-ups from the Gateway Förderverein network and gain insights into projects that bring together public institutions and established companies with innovative ideas. A best practice example is the Legal Hackathon Cologne.
