For local government

What a city hall finds
at the festival.

A whole pillar of the programme is about AI in local government: a dedicated workshop, a closed roundtable and scheduled meetings with suppliers and startups.

01
What is for you

Three formats, on day one.

14 January is built for decision-makers: the morning on the main stage, the afternoon in the workshop and in meetings.

/ 01 · Workshop

AI for government and smart cities

A dedicated track in AI Winter Labs, on the afternoon of 14 January. Working scenarios: assistants for public services, communication with citizens, analysis of city data, governance and compliance.

/ 02 · Roundtable

Public Sector Roundtable

A closed discussion between public administrations, with no press and no sales presentations. It starts from what worked and what failed in projects already delivered.

/ 03 · Meetings

B2G Matchmaking

Scheduled one-to-one meetings with suppliers, integrators and startups, matched to what you have planned. They are arranged before the event, based on what you tell us when you register.

02
What you leave with

The outcome, not the programme.

  • 01A defined pilot projectWith a startup or a company
  • 02Suppliers seen at work, not in a brochureDemo Zone, not passive stands
  • 03Teams of pupils and students working on your problemYouth Challenge, 16 January
  • 04A chance to talk to other administrations in the regionIncluding delegations from the east

You can put forward a real problem of your city or county as a brief for the hackathon teams. Briefs are collected until December 2026 and announced to the teams on the morning of day three.

03
How to register a delegation

One email and a list.

Write to [email protected] with your institution, the names and roles of the participants and what you want to achieve. On that basis we schedule the meetings and hold your seats at the roundtable, which has limited places.
