We’re excited to share our second annual list of the World's 100 Most Influential People in Digital Government. Like last year’s list, it commends a formidable variety of international change-makers driving digital transformation in government—be that public servants, ministers, academic researchers, or activists—and seeks to shine a light on the important work of both high-profile innovators and those toiling behind the scenes of this digital revolution.

Digital government takes many shapes and brings together a variety of fields, including Artificial Intelligence, Digital Inclusion, Open Data, Citizen Engagement, Cyber Security, and Digital Identity, to name a few. The individuals on this list represent the open and agile nature of digital government, and highlight the myriad approaches that can be taken to build a slicker, smarter, more human-centred public sector.
