Digitalisation

Berlin Economics advises on digital solutions in the public sector and digital currencies.

Digital solutions make an important contribution to the modernisation of administrative structures. They can help to shorten unnecessarily long procedures, reduce bureaucracy, as well as curbing corruption. In particular, transition and emerging countries struggling with outdated and complex administrative structures can benefit from the introduction of digital solutions.

Digital currencies, so-called crypto currencies, are particularly suitable in countries with a rather weak banking sector, as the circulation of crypto currencies potentially brings more people into the economic cycle. Berlin Economics advises its partner countries on the introduction of digital solutions in the administrative and financial sectors.
