In the face of what has increasingly been referred to as an ongoing \u201cpermacrisis<\/a>\u201d, governments must cope with and respond to emerging threats while already grappling with longstanding issues such as climate change, digital disruption and low levels of trust<\/a>. Despite compounding challenges, governments have been able to adapt and innovate to transform their societies and economies, and to transform themselves and how they design and deliver policies and services. Indeed, recent crises have served to catalyse<\/a> innovation, and innovation has emerged as a much-needed driver of stability that can generate public value in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, understanding new approaches and spreading successful ideas has never been more important. In seeking to do our part to promote this, OPSI and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation (MBRCGI<\/a>) have worked in partnership for nearly seven years to surface leading edge public sector innovation trends<\/a> and to tell the stories of innovators around the world who are working to challenge existing norms and embed new ways of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are excited to jointly launch our report Global Trends in Government Innovation 2023<\/a>, the preliminary report of which was launched at the World Government Summit<\/a> (WGS), which brings together over 4 000 participants from more than 190 countries to discuss innovative ways to solve the challenges facing humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in previous years, the work for identifying this year\u2019s trends has been entirely ground-up and fuelled by innovation leaders and practitioners who, day in and day out, are doing the difficult work of pushing boundaries and changing the status-quo in their own countries and communities. In coupling our own research with user-submitted case studies as part of our Call for Innovations<\/a> global collective intelligence exercise, we have spent the last several months analysing 1 084 innovations <\/strong>from 94 countries<\/strong> and holding interviews with innovation teams to derive and understand the novel government practices bubbling up from beneath the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2023, we have identified four primary innovation trends<\/strong>, alongside ten in-depth case studies<\/strong> of projects at the forefront of innovation to illustrate them. Each of these, as well a dozens of other compelling examples, are presented in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These trends and case studies demonstrate how governments are working to create societies that are future-fit and more resilient to shocks, all while ensuring stronger accountability, equity, empathy and proactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
