Why does Chile need a Municipal Digital Transformation Think Tank?

/ Chile success stories, digital transformation / By

A network of municipalities to comply with Law 21.180 by sharing solutions, accelerating implementation, and changing organizational culture.

The Law does not stop, but many municipalities do

Despite regulatory advances, municipal digital transformation in Chile is progressing at very uneven rates. While some municipalities have already implemented state platforms such as SIMPLE, FirmaGob, or ClaveÚnica, many others are struggling to initiate or sustain this process.

The cause isn't just technological: there's a lack of collaborative structures, evidence of what works, and support in change management. Digital transformation is also a cultural and organizational issue.

Proposal: create a Municipal Think Tank led by a medium-sized municipality with vision

From PMC33 we propose to activate a Municipal Think Tank on Digital Transformation: an agile, practical and strategic network between communes to:

  • Share real learnings and avoid repeating mistakes.

  • Accelerate the adoption of state platforms.

  • Produce replicable implementation kits and roadmaps.

  • Make progress visible to citizens and authorities.

  • Coordinate efforts with actors such as Digital Government, Regional Governments, or municipal associations.

The initiative requires a medium-sized, committed and forward-thinking municipality to assume the role of articulating node. It's not about leading based on scale or budget, but rather on conviction and practice.

Which municipalities can join?

  • Communes that have started the process and want to move forward more quickly.

  • Municipalities that need structure, visibility and support to comply with Law 21.180.

  • Regional governments that want to finance the replication of the basic digital ecosystem.

  • Universities and associations that contribute through public innovation.

What does PMC33 offer?

  • Technical and methodological coordination.

  • Design of peer learning clinics.

  • Systematization of experiences.

  • Digital implantation kit in 90 days.

  • Production of materials and strategic communication.

  • Coordination with Digital Government and key stakeholders.

Expected results

  • Active network of municipalities sharing good practices.

  • Collaboration agreements with public and technical actors.

  • Implementations in municipalities with lower technical capacity.

  • National visibility of municipal leadership in digital transformation.

  • Evidence for audits, management, and legitimacy before citizens.
