Center for Technology in Government at UAlbany

Have you ever wondered how and why government agencies might use technology, and how that technology could create public value? Have you considered the process that government agencies or other organizations might follow before they invest in technology?

Governments across the globe are striving to make public services and operations more effective, efficient and transparent. As public demand for this efficiency and effectiveness rises, governments often look to innovations in technology to address issues regarding health, education, public safety and more. This is where CTG’s more than 20 years of experience comes in: we work with leaders to think strategically about technology and find innovative solutions to pressing public problems.

CTG’s work is driven by the idea that technology alone is not enough to make real and sustainable change. We believe that to innovate successfully with technology, you must lead with your mission, embrace learning by doing, understand the complexity, and put confidence in the commitment and creativity of individual professionals. To help agencies accomplish this, we use a unique mix of academic programs, experiential learning opportunities, new research, and thought leadership to help students, fellow researchers, and practitioners think about and use technology to create public value.
