About Digg

Digg is an authority that works broadly to support and coordinate the digitization of the Swedish public administration. We develop digital infrastructure and services that help other public actors in their digitization. We also ensure that digital public services are accessible to everyone.

Possible Organizational Change

To strengthen the digitization efforts, the government has tasked Digg and the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) to propose how our two authorities could merge into one. The report was submitted to the government on March 14, and we are now awaiting a decision on whether an organizational change will be implemented. Our work to digitize Sweden continues, and we hope you want to be part of the journey.
