Session
Its openness and adaptability is what makes Matrix particularly interesting for government organizations. Recently, FITKO and the German Federal Ministry of the Interior joined efforts to pilot a Matrix-based next-generation communication infrastructure for digital government services. The aim of the pilot is to showcase end-to-end encryption, great usability and machine-readable communication between citizens and public authorities. We would like to give an insight into the project and discuss further applications of the Matrix protocol in the public sector, such as adding real-time capabilities to online procedures and connecting industry and government IT systems.
