Digitizers from the Lower Bavarian government at work

Lower Bavaria Embraces Digitalization: First Joint Meeting Held

The Government of Lower Bavaria and the Lower Bavarian district administration offices came together for a significant meeting on Tuesday, marking the first gathering of Digitalization Commissioners and e-Government specialists from both parties. The formal gathering, as indicated by a press release from the Government of Lower Bavaria, took place at the government headquarters, but the exact location was not specified.

The meeting served as a platform for the participants to discuss and strategize about inter-agency electronic communication. Key topics of discussion included online procedures, the Online Access Act, the special electronic government mailbox "beBPo", and the handling of artificial intelligence. The city of Landshut's Digitalization Task Force was also present at the meeting.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the discussion on the Online Access Act. This law, which aims to make public administration more accessible through digital means, was a focal point of the meeting. The "beBPo" mailbox, a digital platform designed to streamline communication between citizens and public authorities, was also a topic of interest.

While the purpose or outcomes of the meeting were not detailed in the press release, the joint meeting indicated that while there is still work to be done in administrative digitization, the government, district offices, and independent cities are already making progress. Depending on the authority, up to 250 different procedures can already be submitted online without the need to visit the office.

Regular exchanges, to be held in a digital format, are planned in the future to address the challenge of "administrative modernization". The name of the Digitalization Commissioner of the district of Lower Bavaria who initiated the meeting is not found in the provided search results.

The joint meeting offered excellent networking opportunities for the participants, allowing them to share information about the digitalization status of their respective authorities and gather ideas for future e-government projects. The meeting marked a significant step forward in the digitalization journey of Lower Bavaria, demonstrating a commitment to making public services more accessible and efficient.
