The week aims to explore the technologies that technology companies can deploy to support our public services.

On the 28 June - 2 July techUK’s Central Government Programme will be running our Innovation in Public Services Week #techUKPSInnovation. The week aims to explore the technologies that technology companies can deploy to support our public services. It provides our members and stakeholders the opportunity to look in depth at the vital, innovative role they can play in the transformation and delivery of public services.

If you would like to contribute, we would require a blog piece of around 400-600 words, a blog title, and a 150-character description for the sub-title. The blogs will feature on the techUK website and will be promoted via Twitter and LinkedIn throughout the week. 

A different theme has been assigned to each day of the week; we would love to hear thoughts from both SMEs and large companies their visions for future public services and the innovative technologies that can make those visions a reality. We will also look at the importance of collaboration between SMEs and large companies, and as we look towards what we hope will be the end of the pandemic, we will be exploring how the tech industry can continue to support public services in a post-COVID world.  

If you are interested in contributing a blog for one or more of the below themes, please send your blog through to Julia.Ofori-Addo@techuk.org no later than COP on 25 June. 

Please see below the themes for the week: 

1. #PublicServiceInnovation | Public services of the future – What will our public services of the future look like?
2. Catalysts for change – What emerging and innovative technologies will be most important in transforming public service delivery?
3. Collaboration – How will we promote collaboration between SMEs and large companies and drive innovation?
4. A new normal – How will the tech sector continue to support public services in a post-COVID world?
5. Procurement – How can procurement foster innovation?
