In March we partnered with Digital Leaders to celebrate Public Sector Insight Week 2023. Anaeko Data Engineering have supported Digital Leaders for many years, and as Northern Ireland's ambassadors we are so pleased to have been able to support so many fantastic events in celebration.

With over 100 free talks to discover more about the digital transformation of public services in the UK, Public Sector Insight Week provides the perfect opportunity to learn best practice, hear practical solutions, and absorb the latest thought leadership from the sector. If you weren't able to attend this years events, we thought we would break them down for you.

Public Sector Innovation Conference | RSA London 

This year in the face of rapid improvements in the capabilities of emerging technologies, Digital Leaders wanted to look towards the future. In principle, emerging technologies - such as AI, automation, edge computing, distributed ledger, AR/VR, advanced analytics, geolocation services, etc - offer the potential for our public services to become much smarter, eliminate traditional organisational silos, and automate large amounts of transactional processes that could free up time and resource for more publically valuable activities. 

In view of the rapid acceleration in the scope, scale, and impact of such technologies, we suggest that it is time that public innovators engaged focally with ‘emerging tech’.  Can Public Services in their current form take advantage of these new technologies?  What sort of central challenges do such technologies present for the way in which our public services are currently organised and run? These questions come at a time when there is a £55bn deficit to be tackled.

Accordingly, the conference sought to engage with the possibilities such technologies may offer to move beyond ‘another redesign’ of our public services, to embrace more fundamental innovation in our understanding of what public services should be doing for us, and how they should be doing it.
