ACTE's launching webinar

WEBINAR

The Association Civic Tech Europe (ACTE) had its launching webinar on May 19th. Find below the recording and the presentation of the webinar. ​

 ACTE was founded in December 2019 to represent civic techs at the European level. Civic techs are actors independent of any political or economic movement who deploy technological innovations to strengthen citizens’ participation in democracy and forge new links between voters and institutions.  As the COVID-19 pandemic prevents social gatherings and disrupts the democratic process, the digital solutions provided by ACTE’s members and partners are now more urgent than ever.
