Today, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my latest project, the GovTech Knowledge Base , a structured resource dedicated to GovTech within the European Union 🇪🇺. This initiative is born out of my year’s worth of immersion and hands-on experience in the public sector, a new and enriching journey for myself who had previous background primarily rooted in IT solutions for private business.
The Journey So Far
One year ago, I transitioned from developing IT solutions for private businesses and product companies, where I served as a Solution, Cloud, and Enterprise Architect, to working on a software projects within the public sector. This new role introduced me to complex business domains such as finance, banking, and the EU regulations. The shift required a significant investment of time and effort to understand the EU’s structure, procedures, directives, and regulations.
The Challenges
Despite the abundance of information available, especially in the highly regulated public sector, I encountered two primary challenges:
Information Filtering and Organization: The need to sift through vast amounts of data and transform it into a structured, well-organized knowledge base.
Beyond Bookmarks: The desire for a dynamic database where I could define necessary entities, establish relationships between them, and implement a robust search index — essentially, my own tailored large language model (LLM).
The Solution: Notion
Given my experience of using Notion to structure my notes and manage information, it was a natural choice for this project. Notion’s flexibility and powerful features make it an ideal platform for creating a comprehensive and user-friendly knowledge base.
The GovTech Knowledge Base
I am excited to make the GovTech Knowledge Base publicly available, even though it remains a work in progress. This resource is designed for anyone interested in GovTech, IT development within the public sector, and understanding how the EU implements its IT projects.
What You’ll Find
The knowledge base is focused on several key aspects of the European Union’s activities:
Technology Regulations: Detailed information on the regulations governing technology use within the EU.
IT Strategy: Insights into the EU’s IT strategies, including goals, plans, and implementation roadmaps.
Programmes and Projects: Comprehensive coverage of ongoing IT programmes and projects within the EU.
EU Organizational Structure: An overview of the EU’s organizational framework and how it influences IT initiatives.
EU Digital Services: Information on the various digital services provided by the EU.
Adopted Technologies: A look at the technologies being used and adopted, from developers to developers.
Access the Knowledge Base
The GovTech Knowledge Base is available through the following link: GovTech Knowledge Base. I hope you find it a valuable resource as you navigate the complex and fascinating world of GovTech and IT in the public sector.
I look forward to your feedback and hope this knowledge base becomes an indispensable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike, providing clarity and insight into the EU’s approach to technology and digital transformation.
Thank you!
