  • How to rethink growth in the intangible economy? A Case from Finland
    Dec 10 2025

    We sit down with Eeva Hellström, Senior Lead in Foresight and Training at the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, to explore one of today’s most urgent questions: how do we value what we cannot see?

    Eeva explains why traditional economic models overlook the “invisible” factors that increasingly shape our economies. And why failing to recognise them leaves policymakers with critical blind spots.

    We discuss:
    ✅ Why digital transformation shouldn’t be measured only by short-term ROI.
    ✅ The environmental and social costs of we rarely consider.
    ✅ What “post-growth” means for high-income countries.
    ✅ Why governments need new indicators of well-being and long-term public value.

  • Reform calls for digitalisation, and the other way around with Margus Sarapuu
    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode, governance expert Margus Sarapuu cuts through one of the biggest myths in government transformation: that digitalisation and public administration reform can happen separately. Spoiler: they can’t.

    From Estonia and Ukraine to Moldova, Bangladesh, and Kosovo, Sarapuu shares why digital reforms often stall and how governments can avoid the trap of layering shiny tech on top of unreformed bureaucracy.

    If you’re looking at how to build resilient, future-proof governance systems, this episode is a must-listen.

    Tune in now and join the conversation about what it really takes to make government work in the digital age.

  • The learning curve for effective AI in government
    Nov 12 2025

    Governments worldwide are eager to harness AI — yet many remain stronger on ambition than readiness.

    In this episode, “The Learning Curve for Effective AI in Government,” we talk with Piret Hirv, Head of the Data Management Competence Centre at the e-Governance Academy, about what it takes to turn AI pilots into lasting impact in public services.

    We also speak with Oscar Del Campo Barxias, Deputy Director General for Entrepreneurship of the Community of Madrid, who shares the lessons learned for implementing AI in public services in the Madrid region.
