2023 Event Briefing Note
Harnessing tech and data for smarter environments
The word ‘smart’ is now part of the vocabulary for the public sector, related to the use of technology and data to provide a more cohesive infrastructure and delivery of services.
There are issues to address and learnings to share, as became clear in UKAuthority Smart Places and Communities 2023 conference, which brought together public sector pathfinders and representatives from the technology industry. The event outlined the challenges but also showed the case for optimism in approaching the smart agenda and realising smart benefits for the sector and its communities.
