INDUSTRY INSIGHTS: 70% of Canadians demand fully digital public services, 87% expect this by 2026 A recent survey reveals that the majority of Canadians are demanding fully digital public services, with 70% expressing the desire for such services and a staggering 87% expecting this shift to happen within the next two years. The study highlights critical gaps in Canada's digital public services, emphasizing the need for urgent action and innovation to meet citizen expectations. 48% of Canadian respondents stated concerns around privacy and security, citing these as their biggest fears in the transition to digital services. Trust remains a significant barrier to adoption, with many Canadians expressing skepticism about the government's ability to deliver digital services effectively. To address these concerns and meet evolving citizen needs, public and private sector organizations should work together to develop robust cybersecurity measures and create user-friendly, transparent, and privacy-enhancing digital experiences. #digitalgovernment #digitalpublicservices #privacy #secuirty #digitaleconomy https://lnkd.in/dnzBA4jj

Canada’s information and communication technology (#ICT) sector generated $270 billion in 2023 alone. And while the industry has seen incredible growth, unfortunately, women’s representation in tech has largely stayed stagnant. This lack of representation has contributed to a toxic “boys' club” culture that’s prevented women from growing within the sector—a sector that needs their involvement to see continued growth and success. Not only are women founders in ICT developing solutions to evolving challenges, but they’re showing other women and girls that they too have the ability to lead within the sector. In light of International Girls in ICT Day, we’re celebrating inspiring women in ICT we’re proud to stand by. 💪 🎉 #financialfeminism #internationalgirlsinictday #girlsinICT #communications #technology
