Working together on digital autonomy
The DAWO community is an open community in which government, industry and society jointly build a digitally autonomous workplace for the Dutch government.
What DAWO stands for
DAWO brings public values and technology together. The community pursues five primary goals.
Digital autonomy

Innovation
Encouraging innovation and more efficient ways of working.
Verifiability

Open and verifiable AI building blocks for the digital workplace.
Operating system
DAWO-NixOS and installation building blocks for a reproducible workplace.
Cloud
