Office for Digital Innovation

Shaping the Future. Promoting Innovation. Enabling Digitalisation.

Liechtenstein is leveraging the opportunities of digitalisation and the application potential of new technologies for the benefit of its population, economy, and public administration.

The Office for Digital Innovation (ODI) is the central coordination and advisory body for innovation and digitalisation in Liechtenstein. As a cross-sectional office within the Ministry of General Government Affairs and Finance, it operates at the intersection of government, economy, and society — with the aim of sustainably securing and strengthening Liechtenstein's future viability and competitiveness in the digital age. Additionally, it plays a key regulatory role by coordinating the adoption, implementation, and enforcement of EU digital legislation.

Digitalisation and innovation now affect nearly all areas of government and society. As cross-cutting topics, they require coordinated interaction across departmental and sector boundaries. The ODI therefore works closely with other offices and departments, positioning itself as a team player and service provider. As the central coordination body, it ensures a holistic approach and the systematic implementation of Liechtenstein's digital and innovation agendas — strategically grounded, interdisciplinarily coordinated, and practically oriented. Its focus lies on strategic coordination, regulatory frameworks, and cross-sectoral implementation, networking, and representation.
