Government restructures AMA and will create the Agency for Technological Reform

ARTE will be led by the person responsible for public administration information systems.

The reformulation was approved today in the Council of Ministers and announced by the Deputy Minister and State Reform, Gonçalo Matias, at the end of the meeting.

This new structure will create the position of Director of Information Systems and Technologies for Public Administration, a role that the Government compares to that of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

"This is a restructuring of the utmost importance" that allows "the creation of a new figure, one that does not exist in Portugal," the minister stated at a press conference, emphasizing that other technologically advanced countries already have a person responsible for these functions, such as Estonia.
