Hybrid business model
The company has been incessantly offering a range of products and services, to inspire the public sector leaders and employees and provide them with the needed skills, attitudes, knowledge and tools.
Being the first Arab platform for government innovation, 01Gov offers a daily updated open content in Arabic under the theme of “Government of the Future” within a variety of domains such as data, innovation culture, artificial intelligence, future foresight and storytelling to name a few.
“Only one Arab country has managed to secure a spot within the top 50 countries on the 2019 Global Innovation Index,” Elbadawi said.
