Government Modernisation

Efficient and digital: the government of tomorrow

The Federal Government has set itself the goal of making the public sector more streamlined, digital and successful. Decisions, processes and structures in the public administration are being modernised to achieve this. The government is under strong pressure to act: bureaucracy is holding back business activity and public confidence in the government’s ability to act is declining. We are systematically tackling the necessary modernisation efforts.

Towards an agile, digital and effective Germany

Government modernisation is a mission for a better future for our country: for growth and progress. We as the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation are driving this modernisation process, making results transparent and measuring progress made for businesses and the public.

Government modernisation as an impact-oriented joint project

The modernisation of our public sector requires far-reaching reforms in a variety of areas that are closely interconnected at both federal and state level.

We want to achieve rapid improvements in the public administration for citizens, businesses and our own employees, while at the same time initiating far-reaching structural reforms at federal, state and local level.
