One of our favourite things at Apolitical is public servants and governments coming to visit us! Last week, we hosted Monika Merkytė who heads up Kurk Lietuvai (Create Lithuania), a great programme that brings young Lithuanians who have gone abroad for work or studies back for a 'tour of duty' with the Government of Lithuania. They get to work on cutting edge projects in government - bringing all their skills, knowledge and experience back to Lithuania.

How to be Data-Driven 💡 Data is everywhere — but how do you use it effectively? Access to information alone isn’t enough; for public servants, the ability to gather, interpret and integrate data into decision-making is now essential. At this masterclass, we’ll examine the key strategies for becoming more data-driven and showcase tools and approaches for embedding data into daily work. Our expert speakers Mohammed Bellamine and Hugh C. have successfully used data to up their game in government and drive positive change in their teams. Whether you’re new to data or looking to refine your approach, this session will equip you with the skills and confidence to make data work for you.

Grateful that the World Economic Forum, with the launch of this Global Future Council, is elevating GovTech and Digital Public Infrastructure. In a world awash with shiny AI avatars, GovTech and DPI will never compete in the tech glamour stakes. But they're breathtaking when it comes to scale, impact, and public value. Take India's Aadhaar, OG of DPI: * Reaches 1.3 billion people * Created $15.1 billion of economic value in 2022, much through savings * Contributed 0.9% to India's 2022 GDP; on track for 2.9-4.2% by 2030 * Increased bank account ownership from 44% in 2014 to 77% in 2023 * Being explored for adoption by more than 30 countries Fun to be collaborating with so many people I respect and admire
