Vice-Presidência do Governo Regional

The Vice-Presidency of the Regional Government of the Azores, through the Regional Directorate for Communications and Digital Transition, will promote a series of presentation sessions and workshops dedicated to the LINKA digital ecosystem — the new information systems architecture to be used across the Regional Public Administration.

The sessions will take place between October 20 and 27 on the islands of Terceira, Faial and São Miguel. They are targeted at decision-makers and technical teams working with information systems in all Regional Government departments.

According to Artur Lima, LINKA represents a "decisive step forward in the administrative and digital modernisation of the Azores, as it unifies and simplifies interaction between citizens, businesses and the Regional Public Administration, ensuring greater efficiency in the processing of procedures and internal management. Moreover, it enhances security and interoperability through modern and scalable solutions and provides accessible, clear and transparent digital services, contributing to a closer and more flexible interaction between Azorean citizens and public services."

The main components of LINKA include Azor.ID (unique digital identity), the Services Portal (single point of digital access to public services), RegiDoc (official document management), the Open Data Platform, SIGIGRA (case processing), and the Incentives and Support Simulator (SIA).

In launching this series of sessions, “the Vice-Presidency strengthens the Regional Government’s commitment to enhancing the value of public investment made under the RRP, ensuring that each Regional Administration department adopts and integrates these digital tools. This generates gains in efficiency, transparency, and quality of service for citizens and businesses,” emphasised Artur Lima.

Following investment in AzoresCloud infrastructure and security through Azores Cyber360, LINKA represents a structural step forward in the digital and organisational transformation of the Regional Public Administration, placing the Region at the forefront of administrative modernisation in Portugal.
