The Digital Agenda for Sweden aims to be a coherent strategy to better utilise its existing resources, and to benefit from and contribute to the Digital Agenda for Europe. The meeting of the Digitisation Council discussed the objectives of the Digital Agenda and the key areas that the agenda should include.
During the meeting, several participants stressed that it was important that the objectives of the Digital Agenda were practical as well as ambitious and measurable, in order to avoid it becoming a paper tiger. It could for example be focused on finding solutions to how public sector actors can best utilise and make available the enormous public datasets which are accumulated. It was also highlighted that the employment of a democratic perspective was crucial for future progress.
Ms Hatt said: "I'm really glad Digitisation Council is now in place and running. Thus the process of designing the Digital Agenda has moved to a new phase, following the successful thematic roundtable talks."
She added: "It is also about further anchoring the process so that we can realise the vision of Sweden as the world's most successful digital society."
The Digitisation Council consists of 27 members and serves to advise Ms Hatt on matters including the design and realisation of the national IT strategy, A Digital Agenda for Sweden. The Council will meet about four times a year.
