Shaping Innovation Strategically
The Office for Digital Innovation (ODI) monitors technological developments, identifies trends, and derives recommendations for action for the government. It initiates and supports the development and advancement of strategies within its field of activity and coordinates their implementation in cooperation with the relevant departments of the national administration.
Improving Framework Conditions
The ODI actively helps shape the framework conditions for innovation, digitalisation, and new technologies — from legal foundations to administrative practices and structural or technical prerequisites. It identifies regulatory and infrastructural needs for action, develops appropriate solution proposals, and coordinates further elaboration and implementation with the responsible bodies. As a central contact point for innovation impulses from the market, the ODI supports Liechtenstein in creating and continuously developing forward-looking and practical framework conditions.
Advising and Coordinating
The ODI serves as a central advisory and coordination body on technical topics, background information, interrelations, and regulatory questions in the areas of new technologies, innovation, and digitalisation — for the government, public administration, businesses, and the economy.
Enabling Exchange, Networking, and Communication
The ODI connects key stakeholders in the fields of innovation, digitalisation, and new technologies, and actively promotes the exchange of knowledge and experience. It maintains continuous dialogue with partners such as digital-liechtenstein.li, finance.li, LIHK, LBV, Liechtenstein Marketing, and other relevant institutions. Through active communication, the ODI provides information, creates transparency on developments, and strengthens cooperation within Liechtenstein’s innovation ecosystem.
Securing International Integration
The ODI represents Liechtenstein in international organisations, expert committees, and networks, contributing to the country’s international positioning, networking, and ongoing development as an innovation hub.
Testing New Technologies & Implementing Pilot Projects
The ODI evaluates and proposes the implementation of specific innovation projects and initiatives. It reviews and coordinates the adoption of innovative solutions for public administration and the market in collaboration with internal and external partners.
