Innovate Australia
Friday August 12, 2022
National Convention Centre Canberra (NCCC) | 9:00am – 4:25pm AEST
Event Overview
Over the next decade, the Australian government plans to become to be one of the top digital governments in the world.
Supported by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Digital Economy Strategy and the Digital Transformation Agency’s Digital Government Strategy (DGS), the federal government aims to digitalise 100% of government services, grow innovative sectors and make strategic investments that aid economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19.
Although federal agencies have already made tremendous progress throughout the pandemic, this new transformation target is urgent and ambitious.
To help the Australian public service create a world-leading digital government, Public Sector Network invites you to join an exclusive gathering at Innovate Australia 2022. This on-site event is the the ideal place to learn, collaborate and discuss strategy and emerging innovations. By spotlighting leading agencies and their initiatives, public servants working across the federal government can share best-practice, benchmark and further develop their projects within their agencies.
