This was the week of web sums in which the country hosts one of the most relevant global technology and innovation events in the world. Digital innovation has profoundly transformed the way society, companies and governments will work in the next decade. In this climate of innovation we are also experiencing a cycle of transition to what is broadly called Web 3.0, which is based on decentralization, interoperability and greater user control over their data, which are redefining the future of the internet and digital services. This trend is unavoidable today, driving the modernization of the public and private sectors and creating opportunities to increase efficiency, transparency and trust in digital interactions.
Web3 includes digital assets, where the most visible side are the so-called cryptocurrencies, and work based on a system called blockchain – which in a simplified way, is a type of public digital book where all transactions and information are recorded in a secure, transparent way and impossible to delete or alter. Instead of being stored in a single location, this “book” is shared among many people or computers, which makes it almost impossible for anyone to falsify or manipulate the data.
But what does all this have to do with the management of public services and the fight against bureaucracy? Well, technology blockchain It is a disruptive structure that significantly reduces bureaucracy in public services because it allows immutable and transparent digital records to be created, eliminating the need for intermediaries and manual checks.
Thus, and by way of example, processes such as document issuance, identity validation or even property transfers could be faster, safer and more automated, increasing the efficiency, trust and traceability of operations in the public interest domain. They can also benefit from issuing licenses and licensing authorizations, or even managing contracts and purchases, ensuring compliance with public procurement legislation and reducing the likelihood of fraud and helping to manage the credibility of processes. Reducing bureaucracy is probably one of the main struggles that need to be carried out in the management of public administration in the country, and the digital transition to web3 It is clearly one of the best opportunities underway.
