With technology now contributing over £150 billion annually to the UK economy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) alone projected to boost GDP by up to 10.3% by 2030, the potential for transformation has never been greater. However, success hinges on putting people, places, and communities at the heart of this digital revolution.

In 2022, the government launched the 'Transforming for a Digital Future' roadmap, laying the foundation for a fully modernised, data-driven, and efficient public sector. With the Labour Government prioritising tech as the keystone of its growth mission, this northern edition of the Institute of Government & Public Policy's GovTech Show will address the challenges and opportunities of integrating cutting-edge technologies into public services.

In partnership with the Soctim, Society for Innovation, Technology and Modernisation, the Institute of Government & Public Policy (IGPP) is delighted to announce the GovTech Show and Exhibition will be coming to the North West in October 2025.

Join Socitm and IGPP in Greater Manchester for an enriching experience. Public sector professionals, policymakers, and industry experts will come together to explore the latest technological innovations shaping the future of the UK Public Sector. This conference will provide practical solutions to overcoming the barriers and challenges in transforming public services, and attendees will gain insights into leveraging efficient, secure, and sustainable technology to provide cost-effective, citizen-centric services.
