Azores discuss good digital practices at international conference
The Vice-Presidency of the Regional Government, through the Regional Directorate for Communications and Digital Transition, attended the international conference "On Digital and the Outermost Regions of the European Union," which took place between October 1 and 3 in Saint-Denis, Réunion Island. Organised by the University of La Réunion, the initiative was attended by experts and representatives of the European Commission and the European Union's Outermost Regions (ORs). The Autonomous Region of the Azores representation shared its digital strategy, highlighting the progress made in terms of connectivity and digital infrastructures. The Regional Government is ensuring a high-quality digital connectivity infrastructure, namely the implementation of the new Atlantic CAM submarine cable system, the replacement of the Inter-island Ring and the mooring of the NUVEM cable; the latter places the Region as a strategic connectivity point between Europe and the American continent. The progress made in creating a robust digital infrastructure was also highlighted, such as the Azores Cloud. This initiative aims to ensure data sovereignty and the modernisation of Information Technology infrastructures in the archipelago. The Azorean participation was an important contribution to the continuity of cooperation among the Outermost Regions and the development of common strategies for digital transformation, consolidating the role of the Azores as an active and innovative partner in the European digital ecosystem. The Azores now have a wealth of knowledge and experience in areas such as cybersecurity, data sovereignty and the digitisation of public services. The meeting convened approximately forty speakers from various European outermost regions to discuss the implementation of effective digital practices tailored to the specific contexts and needs of each region.

Public tender launched for creation of Regional Public Administration Services Portal
The Vice-Presidency of the Regional Government, through the Regional Directorate for Communications and Digital Transition, has launched the international public tender for the development and implementation of the Regional Public Administration Services Portal. The opportunity to create a single portal for Regional Public Administration services arises in the context of the development of the LINKA - Regional Public Administration Information Systems Architecture project and the urgent need to promote administrative modernisation by making quality public services available in a simple, secure, fast, efficient, accessible, transparent and dematerialised manner. Currently, many public services are provided in a fragmented manner and with different levels of dematerialisation, accessibility and efficiency, causing difficulties for citizens and companies when interacting with the regional public administration. Additionally, there is a lack of efficiency in the way they are processed, often supported by multiple platforms, many of which are obsolete. The creation of the Regional Public Administration Services Portal aims to solve these issues by providing a single, cross-use and integrated platform where services can be accessed easily and intuitively. Rather than simply centralising existing services, this approach involves dematerialising processes and simplifying them, reducing bureaucracy and the number of platforms, so as to increase the transparency and efficiency of public services. This portal will be an essential tool for the modernisation of the regional public administration, aligned with the best e-government practices, in response to the wishes of citizens and businesses as far as digital services are concerned. The Services Portal is a measure included in the Azores RRP.
