About

This important cross government has three inter locking strands of the latest digital policy:
Government Innovation is a cross-government programme to create innovation in public services working inside out across central and local government, but engaging with private sector businesses.
AI Innovation is a DCMS and BEIS join initiative under the Office for AI and is the centre for pushing forward AI policy across the whole of Government – working with Departments to set Missions that address the AI and Data Grand Challenge. The first Mission set is on using AI to improve the early diagnosis in health.
GovTech is the concept of encouraging small, emerging technology businesses, to bring innovative solutions to public service challenges in a formal process using a £20 million fund to facilitate the public sector engaging and creating solutions with the private sector for use across the whole public sector.

This one day conference is a collaboration between three government departments and Digital Leaders

Speakers

The Conference will bring together those in the public sector running Challenges, those in the public sector bidding for funding to run their own challenges and a selected group of private sector startups and digital transformation businesses offering innovative solutions to them. There will be keynotes from Ministers, the latest innovations from the main stage, lots of networking and an active exhibition.
