AI4PA is a Digital Innovation Hub with the mission of supporting the digital transformation of Public Administration. As a Digital Innovation Hub, AI4PA encompasses a collaborative network that includes centers with specific digital competencies. These centers are organized to support the digital transformation of public administration through the use of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and other innovative technologies. The main objectives are to enhance the effectiveness of public policies, improve the quality of public services, strengthen central, regional and local public administration and help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by offering digital solutions tailored to their specific needs.
