Building the Smarter State 2026

Building the Smarter State is techUK's flagship annual conference for senior public sector digital, data, and technology (DDaT) leaders. The 2026 edition, themed 'Delivering World-Leading Public Services'brings together government chief technology officers, heads of digital transformation, and senior programme managers alongside the technology companies driving the most impactful public sector programmes in the UK.

techUK, as the UK's premier technology trade association and the voice of the UK tech sector to government, designs the conference to provide DDaT leaders with access to cutting-edge solutions, peer case studies, and authoritative research. Speakers include senior DSIT officials, technology leaders from NHS Digital, HMRC, and the Government Digital Service (GDS), providing delegates with direct insight into the government's technology agenda and investment priorities.

For Pakistani government technology officials and Pakistani companies with public sector technology expertise, Building the Smarter State is one of the most substantive access points to the UK's GovTech ecosystem. The conference's proximity to government technology buying decisions makes it a high-priority event for any organisation seeking to position itself within the UK public sector market.
