Abstract

This Market Presentation explores two key factors driving public sector technology spending in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META). It examines the fundamental shifts in national vision in the digital age pertaining to focus areas, regulations, and policies, among others. It also outlines the changing tech preferences of public sector CIOs — the digital progress made, new priorities, challenges, and tech investment areas.

"As countries in META pursue their recovery journeys, national governments have accelerated the implementation of nationwide digital transformation plans. To thrive in today's digital-first world, public sector IT leaders are focusing on delivering new and enhanced services that are efficient, trusted, highly responsive, inclusive, and convenient. The focus is on accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies to drive efficiency gains across the public sector, including ramping up back-office automation." — Sourav Bhanja, senior consulting director (META), IDC
