Iniciative #15 – Digital Blueprint

Rationale

Portugal currently lacks a national platform dedicated to monitoring its digital ecosystem. This absence limits the ability to track the progress and impact of various digital initiatives.

Digital transition is a cross-cutting pillar across all sectors of Portuguese society that requires a coordinated approach to streamline efforts, share best practices, and create synergies.

The country will gain a more comprehensive and up-to-date view of digital development across all sectors through the implementation of an integrated monitoring tool. This will enable continuous oversight and allow for strategic adjustments whenever necessary.

Details

The establishment of a national platform dedicated to monitoring the digital transition and the digital ecosystem of the country. This platform is a significant step in the right direction, designed to be a comprehensive and accessible source of information regarding the Portuguese digital ecosystem. By gathering data, indicators, and best practices, the platform will facilitate continuous and transparent monitoring of Portugal's digital progress, providing a clear and comprehensive view of the current state and future opportunities.

The objective of this initiative is to promote a culture of digital governance based on transparency, participation, and access to information. The platform will serve as a knowledge repository, making relevant data available to citizens, businesses, researchers, and policymakers.

By facilitating access to this information, the platform will help build a more innovative, competitive, and sustainable digital environment, where all stakeholders can closely follow ongoing initiatives, including those of the Portugal Digital Strategy.

The platform will assume an analytical and consolidating role within the digital ecosystem, with a focus on emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. This integrated approach will allow for a holistic view of digital progress in Portugal, ensuring an active role in building a more sustainable and prosperous digital future.
