Next Generation Digital State (NGDS) Research Group, operating under the Egoverntech name, is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and focuses on the transition of public administration into what it describes as a “digital state.” The group combines research and education, with an emphasis on training future specialists in government technology and digital governance.
Its core activity is a Master’s programme that explores the development of digital public services and the tools that support them. According to the organisation’s own description, the curriculum centres on artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital transformation in government. The group presents itself as working at the intersection of advanced research and education, aiming to prepare students for roles in public-sector technology and reform.
The organisation’s published activity suggests a European scope. Its website highlights events and projects connected to Tallinn, including a Digital Innovation Summer School scheduled for April 2026, and it references the E-GOV4YOUTH project, which indicates collaboration with youth and education-focused partners. A media post from July 2025 frames AI as an emerging form of literacy, showing the group’s interest in public debate around digital skills and technology adoption.
While the website does not provide a detailed institutional history on the page reviewed, the organisation clearly positions itself as a research and teaching platform focused on the future of digital government in Europe, rather than as a traditional consultancy or public agency.
