AFFIRM & GITEC Present InformationTechnology: Catalyst for Innovation, Accelerator for Change

At the core of public sector innovation is solving problems for people, both citizens and government employees alike. It’s about delivering on your agency’s mission more effectively and more efficiently. It’s about having a positive impact on the lives of Americans.

Public sector organizations are being charged to use information technology to spur creative and innovative approaches in a way that will:

• Demonstrate and measure the value of innovation to the public sector
• Promote the implementation of disruptive and emerging technologies
• Operational mission success using new technologies in novel ways
• Capitalize on how public sector organizations have successfully harnessed innovation
