Local public services innovation focus week 2026

Welcome to Local public services innovation focus week! This week will feature blogs from techUK members in the run up to our Local public services innovation summit 2026 on Tuesday 15 September.

This year's summit will build on last year's insightful discussions, covering topics including digital transformation, procurement and agentic AI in the council of the future, exploring what these trends mean in practice for councils and the suppliers working with them, and how we can drive real collaborative progress across the sector.

Our Local Public Services Innovation Week will explore what this transformation means in practice, from the practical realities of delivering LGR, to the innovative ways technology can help councils shape services around residents' needs.
