Intervenção da Secretária de Estado da Inovação e da Modernização Administrativa no encontro de pontos de contacto nacionais do Observatório de Inovação do Setor Público da OCDE (inglês)

Let me begin by greeting all the participants, with a special thank you note to OPSI for enabling this meeting.

It is an honour to be here, sharing experiences and highlighting the Portuguese commitment to public sector innovation.

A commitment reinforced by the pandemic crisis.

Today there is no doubt that Innovation is the cornerstone to recovery, resilience, better services to citizens and businesses and better policies to tackle the complexity and uncertainty we all live in.

Innovation is also more than investigation, simplification, or digitalisation. It is about building a culture of curiosity and proactiveness in Public Administration, encouraging cross-sectorial collaboration and an open mindset to design, implement, and evaluate a new generation of public policies.
