Co-working Fridays: Blockchain, Government, and the Gap Between
This week's Co-working Friday is on how technology is being institutionalized inside Nepal's government, and where blockchain fits.
Joining us is Niraj Bhusal from the Ministry of Finance. He'll be speaking on where Nepal currently stands on government technology, how AI and blockchain are being integrated into public systems, and the broader prospect of digitalizing government services.
Agenda
Where Nepal stands on tech in government, with Niraj. Talk, then open Q&A
The Gap. We take one real government service and walk the flow live, builders on what's broken and the policy side on why it exists. Then the policy side writes the problems on the board and the builders write what they'd build to solve it.
CBDC, explained, and where it's heading
A discussion on blockchain's role in governance and ideas to build around it, with direct feedback from someone working inside the system

Plus the usual. Open build blocks, food, bounty desk, and laughs.
Rooms like this rarely happen. If you've been trying to write about how technology is reshaping governance, or you work in policy or law and want to understand what this tech can and can't do, or you're a builder who wants to know which problems inside government are actually worth solving, this is for you. The people writing the rules and the people building the tools almost never end up in the same conversation.
This one is set up so they do.
See you there.
