Administration - State government: More digital services for companies
The state government wants to drive forward the expansion of digital services for the economy. In 2024, the Wirtschafts-Service-Portal.NRW (WSP.NRW) is to be expanded to more than 450 administrative services with around 100 online services, the Ministry of Economic Affairs reported in Düsseldorf on Thursday. Currently, around 400 services are already available in around 90 online services. The most popular services are digital business registration and entry in the register of craftsmen. Around 13 million euros were available for administrative digitization in 2023. Next year, 18 million euros have now been earmarked for this.
Among other things, faster approval processes for wind turbines are planned. For example, a digital cooperation platform is to be set up next year to reduce the workload of the agencies involved. The applicant companies will then be able to view the processing status at any time. "In addition, the evaluation of applications will be supported by artificial intelligence," said a spokesperson.
Overall, applications should become simpler. Data that is already available to the administration will be able to be used again in order to speed up procedures. It should also be possible to access information via a standardized, national IT architecture in the future. "As the data does not have to be checked again, the approval and permit procedures will be significantly accelerated." NRW is leading the development of this architecture on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
Economics Minister Mona Neubaur called the digital transformation a "mega topic". "Whether in climate protection, energy supply, production and logistics, the skilled trades or the shortage of skilled workers: digital tools and skills are crucial for the success of business models and the competitiveness of our companies," said the Green politician in a statement.
