The OECD Government-to-Government (Gov2Gov) Innovation Incubator promotes cross-border collaboration among governments with similar innovation challenges. With support from an Advisory Board and a team of OECD experts, the incubator facilitates collaborative and structured problem-solving exchanges, enabling participating teams to accelerate innovative solutions.

We are looking for innovative public sector teams to connect with the “challenges owners” that were selected to participate in this edition of the programme. The purpose is to collaborate with public sector teams and initiatives from the Governments of Brazil, France, Italy, and Spain to jointly tackle the selected challenges.

You can play the role of potential “solution provider”, supporting Government teams to benefit from your trailblazing initiatives and appear as an international champion in public sector innovation. We welcome submissions from public organisations at all levels of government, be it local, regional, national or federal/central administrations.

If you have experiences, learnings and eventually relevant propositions that can add value to this incubation process, supporting the generation of possible solutions, you are welcome to join the programme.

Still have questions? Get in touch with us at incubator@oecd.org
