Address of the Minister of Labour, Mr Kyriakos Koushos, at the ceremony for signing a MoU between the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy of Cyprus and the Federal Ministry of Finance of Austria

It is with great pleasure that we are here today for the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the digital transformation of the public sector. I am extremely pleased that the first cooperation between the Cyprus Government and the Austrian Government under the Memorandum concerns the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance and in particular the upgrading of the IT system of the Social Insurance Services.

Undoubtedly, we will greatly benefit from the expertise, knowledge and advice of the Austrian experts in developing a new upgraded system that will enable the Social Insurance Services to offer a faster, more accurate, and more efficient service, addressing the needs of citizens while at the same time minimizing fraud and error. Within this framework, the guidance of the experts both in the simplification of the processes and in the design of the system architecture will be vital to the success of the project.

Once again, we would like to thank our colleagues from the Austrian Government for their support in such a crucial endeavor. The cooperation between us will enable both our countries to promote e-government, accelerate digital transformation and reduce the digital divide between them.
