The member firms of Deloitte and the EUROCITIES Knowledge Society Forum — TeleCities (EUROCITIES) — a network of European cities committed to the development of an inclusive, information-based society — have embarked on a strategic partnership to enhance the level of e-government implementation across the European Union (EU): eCitizenship for All. As a part of this partnership, Deloitte conducts an annual benchmark survey, with the results reflecting the state of eGovernment within these EUROCITIES. The members, including more than 170 local authorities across 34 countries in Europe, are then able to benchmark themselves against each other, with the best practices nominated for annual awards.
