FOKUS eGovernment-Labor

The Fraunhofer FOKUS eGovernment laboratory, first opened in November 2004, provides an ideal infrastructure for the cooperative development and trials of innovate eGovernment solutions. It encompasses up-to-date eGovernment architectures, infrastructural components, solutions and products. New developments are tested under lab conditions and presented as scientific outcomes. The focal points of the eGovernment laboratory’s activities are the interoperability of eGovernment products, replication of processes and modeling of laws and regulations.
