WHAT WE DO

Public Sector

At i2CAT, we drive the digital transformation of society and the Catalan public sector by turning technological innovation into more efficient, accessible, and people-centred services.

We collaborate with the Government of Catalonia, local councils, county councils, and provincial governments to tackle key challenges and design digital solutions tailored to the specific needs of each region and community.

We approach this with a strategic vision focused on ensuring universal access to technology, promoting digital empowerment among citizens, and strengthening collaboration networks between public and social stakeholders.

Our work combines cutting-edge research with applied innovation, leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, blockchain, and NewSpace to serve public administrations and citizens. Based on the quadruple helix model, we foster strategic alliances between the public sector, businesses, knowledge centers, and civil society to drive a digital transformation with social, territorial, and sustainable impact.
