These digital solutions had to be open source, scalable, and transferable, ensuring that outcomes would enhance dissemination and scaling throughout Germany and Europe. As most selected projects are still in the implementation phase, this session presents the first prototypical solutions and achievements of the national program. Additionally, within the \u201cSmarte.Land.Regionen\u201d initiative, an online marketplace has been established to offer solutions for digital public services.<\/div>
