World Bank, SECO and Trust Valley Launch GovTech Innovation Challenge to Support Tax Administration by GRA

The World Bank, Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), and Switzerland’s Trust Valley have opened applications for the GovTech Innovation Challenge, a pilot initiative designed to connect technology companies with government institutions to drive digital transformation in the public sector.

The 2025 edition of the programme, announced on July 28, seeks innovative solutions to support the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) in tackling two critical tax administration challenges: informal sector income tax identification and registration, and e-commerce value-added tax (VAT) identification and compliance.

According to the organisers, the initiative provides a secure testing ground for technology solutions that can enhance efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness in government services. The programme will pair selected startups and SMEs with the GRA to co-develop functional proofs of concept (PoCs).

Programme Structure

Three companies will be chosen from this global call for proposals. The selected firms will work directly with the GRA and receive expert mentorship, technical consultations, and exposure to Switzerland’s Trust Valley innovation ecosystem during a four-day bootcamp scheduled for November 26 – December 2, 2025.

The programme will conclude with a closing ceremony and presentations at the GovTech Conference in Geneva on December 2, 2025.
