GovTech

GovTech is gaining momentum as it passes from an emergent state and is poised to go global. Its development has drawn comparisons to fintech, a sector which grew sixfold between 2011 and 2015.

The concept of small businesses bringing innovative solutions to public services, that once proven can move to scale is exciting both political and market interest.
