discussion and exchange of experience in eGovernment and eDemocracy. The forum
currently
maintains
five
working

Regional & Local eGovernment
Policy/Strategy
Platform ‘Digital Austria’
Senior representatives of the regional and local governments participate in the Platform
‘Digital Austria’, which is responsible for devising integrated eGovernment strategies
headed by the Federal Chief Information Officer. The objectives and roadmaps adopted by
the Platform are thus also valid for regional and local governments. These orientations are
then translated or included into regional and local strategies, for which regional States
(
Länder
) and Municipal Governments are responsible.
