🎙️ Halfdan Lynge is a chief advisor at Denmark’s digital government agency, working on data governance and open data. His UNDP work and GovTech startup in Mozambique shape his view of varied infrastructure and state capacity.
Halfdan Lynge draws on his work in Danish digital government and his experience in Mozambique to discuss where civic tech and GovTech overlap, and how infrastructure, funding and regulation shape what can be built. He and Alessandro then consider what happens when AI agents become an interface between citizens and government. The conversation ends with a question for democracy itself: how might its institutions change as technology changes the way people participate?
