techUK’s Local Public Services Innovation Week 2024 #LPSInnovation
During the week, we will showcase the innovation happening across local government and explore the emerging technologies and conditions needed to transform the delivery and outcomes of local public services, as well as the skills necessary for the future workforce and how we can use procurement as an enabler for innovation and deliver better value for the council and users.
techUK will also host its annual Local Public Services Innovation Summit on 12 June at techUK offices in London. Attending is free for members and the public sector, so register now to secure your in-person ticket. Join us as we rethink how councils’ services are delivered and the role innovation and technology can play in helping local authorities meet their pressing challenges.
You can also follow the campaign on techUK's X and LinkedIn - #LPSInnovation
