While technology holds significant promise for revolutionising both the economy and public sector, real-world examples of successful implementation remain rare. The Scottish Government's CivTech programme stands out as a pioneering force in public sector innovation. As CivTech launches its 10th Cohort in London, techUK is pleased to host an event exploring the key factors behind the programme’s success.
