StarBoard Solutions attended the Smart Country Convention in Berlin, joining an event focused on the digital transformation of public administration, cities and regions. Held at Messe Berlin from 13–15 October 2026, the convention brings together an expo, conference, workshops and networking opportunities, connecting public-sector decision-makers with technology providers and innovators.
For StarBoard, whose European business is based in Berlin, the event provides an opportunity to explore the role of interactive technology in modern workplaces and learning environments. The company develops interactive displays, whiteboards and software designed to support collaboration, presentations and digital teamwork.
Smart Country Convention: Connecting Technology and Public Services
The Smart Country Convention, also known as SCCON, brings together representatives from public administration, politics, business, academia, GovTech and startups. It focuses on practical solutions that improve government services and help create smarter cities and better-connected regions.
The event's four-part format combines discussion with practical experience:
- Conference: Explores ideas, projects and approaches to digital transformation in the public sector.
- Expo: Showcases technologies and services for public administrations, cities and regions.
- Workshops: Provide opportunities for practical learning and knowledge sharing.
- Networking: Connects people involved in developing, purchasing and implementing digital solutions.
Portugal is the official partner country for the 2026 edition, showcasing digital solutions and examples of successful implementation in Berlin.
StarBoard Solutions and the Role of Interactive Technology
StarBoard Solutions' attendance places the company within a wider discussion about how organisations can make digital working more accessible, engaging and collaborative.
From its Berlin base, StarBoard supplies interactive displays, interactive whiteboards and supporting software for classrooms and meeting rooms. Its European product range includes touch-enabled displays and integrated videoconferencing solutions that bring on-screen interaction together with tools for meetings, presentations and remote participation.
Interactive displays allow users to work directly with digital content using touch. Common applications include presenting documents, annotating information, sharing videos and developing ideas together on screen. These capabilities align with the convention's focus on practical digital tools, although the company's attendance alone does not confirm which StarBoard products were showcased at the event.
Why Collaboration Matters in a Digital Public Sector
Digital transformation involves more than introducing new online services. SCCON also emphasises the importance of sharing knowledge, practical experience and ideas among the organisations responsible for delivering change.
In this context, interactive technology can help connect information with participation. A collaborative digital workspace can support training sessions, team presentations and group discussions, allowing participants to engage directly with content rather than simply view it. StarBoard's interactive display technology supports applications such as annotation, brainstorming and collaborative activities.
For public-sector organisations exploring new ways of working, these applications demonstrate how modern meeting and learning environments can support wider digitalisation efforts.
A Berlin-Based Business at a Berlin Technology Event
StarBoard's Berlin base gives its attendance a local connection, with the company's European operation supporting its interactive display, whiteboard and software offering from the German capital.
Berlin also has a strong presence at the convention, highlighting the city's digital ambitions. The Berlin Senate Chancellery, public administrations, selected state-owned organisations and project partners are presenting initiatives focused on administrative digitalisation and urban innovation during the three-day event.
StarBoard Solutions' attendance places the company among a wider gathering of technology businesses and public-sector organisations exploring how digital tools can improve the way people work, communicate and deliver public services.
