Council DX Seminar for Local Council Members
Information
The spread of the new coronavirus has prompted active discussions on the digitization of local councils. For example, in December 2022, the 33rd Local Government System Research Council expressed its expectation for active use of digital technology in its “Report on Measures for Realization of Local Councils Open to Residents with Participation of Diverse Human Resources.” In this seminar, we would like to provide participants with information on trends in South Korea, which is making advanced efforts in the digitization of local councils, and discuss trends in local council DX and the potential for digitization.
