Who Is Building the Digital Welfare State? Big Tech, Welfare Tech, Public-Sector IT, and the Potential for a Civil-Society Innovation System

At this year’s NEGZ Autumn Conference, Max Einhaus will lead the workshop “Who Is Building the Digital Welfare State?”

The workshop examines different institutional models of digital innovation and explores their respective strengths, dependencies, and potential to serve the public good. Together with the participants, it will consider whether a civil-society innovation system for the digital welfare state can be conceived and developed beyond the state and the market.
