“Sperimentazione Italia” is a horizontal sandbox that allows companies, universities, research bodies, university startups and spin-offs from any sector (except excluded areas of application) to test pilot projects in the field of digitalisation and technological innovation, by derogating regulatory constraints. The main objective is to conduct live experiments in a controlled environment under the regulator’s supervision and collect data to promote future-proof regulations.
The Greek Ministry of Digital Governance introduced digital vaults to gradually abandon a paper-based public administration (PA) and facilitate user-friendly e-services regardless of how the PA back office operates (fully online or paper-based). This free-of-charge digital inbox allows the exchange of verified e-documents in a secure, traceable way, valid in digital and paper format. As customizable and reusable building blocks, the vaults help reduce administrative burdens.
