BDBOS takes second place in the 2024 eGovernment competition
Date 06/09/2024
The eGovernment competition acts as a pioneering forum for digitalisation in the areas of public administration, social insurance institutions and healthcare institutions. It recognises pioneering projects in the public sector, promotes innovative approaches and provides incentives for contemporary modernisation.
Numerous competitors from all over Germany took part in this year’s edition of the competition in a total of five categories. The competition entries were evaluated by an independent panel of experts from science, business and the media.
The BDBOS entered the competition with the federal IPv6 programme in the category “Sustainability through Digitalisation and in IT”. The submission was made jointly with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI) and the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA). The competition category honours projects and organisations that offer solutions or leverage potential for various sustainability challenges.
At the award ceremony on 05/09/2024 as part of the Ministerial Congress in Berlin, the jury awarded the IPv6 programme second place in the competition category. The award was accepted by deputy project manager Rita Busch for the BDBOS, Martin Bley for the BMI and Tobias Boehnert for the BAuA.
The federal IPv6 programme supports federal authorities and organisations in planning, preparing and implementing the migration of their IT from IPv4 to IPv6 – currently more than 140 individual migration projects nationwide. IPv6 is a core building block for future-proof, innovative, flexible and secure communication infrastructures in public administration and therefore a cornerstone of digitalisation. Only IPv6 enables the comprehensive use of state-of-the-art technologies from assistance systems and AI to edge computing and IoT. The federal IPv6 programme lays the foundations for modern administration in Germany and at the same time creates an important prerequisite for implementing the sustainability goals in the federal IT systems.
The BDBOS has operational responsibility for the IPv6 programme, while the BMI is responsible for strategic programme management. The BAuA is a pilot authority in the programme for the implementation of IPv6-Migration.
More information about the federal IPv6 programme is available on our internet website.
