Innovate to elevate: Unlocking the path to progressive governance

As we move into 2026, public sector transformation and innovation remain crucial for shaping responsive and resilient governance. The evolution from Gov 2.0's digital services to Gov 3.0's intelligent, integrated systems offers governments unprecedented opportunities to enhance service delivery, improve efficiency, and foster greater civic engagement—aligning with the federal government's commitment to digital government and service excellence. By embracing smart technologies, data analytics, and AI, public administrations can do more with less, boost productivity, and ensure policies are more adaptive to citizens' evolving needs through personalized, proactive governance. This transformation involves cultivating a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within public entities, maximizing impact with constrained resources.

Government Innovation Week Federal brings together Federal leaders to integrate Gov 3.0 innovations while safeguarding equity, privacy, and security—core priorities of the current government's mandate. Join us to explore strategies for navigating digital transformation complexities, enhancing operational productivity, and prioritizing accessibility to bridge the digital divide, supporting the government's commitment to inclusive digital services. Register now to connect with experts from Public Safety Canada, Export Development Canada, Service Canada, the Department of National Defence, and more, engage in meaningful discussions, and be part of the movement setting a new benchmark for governance in the digital age.

What your peers had to say

This year’s show was excellent. The variety in speakers and topics was enlightening while also covering topics that were extremely salient to the environment we find ourselves in (i.e. large focus on AI this year). I look forward to joining again next year and seeing that the hot topic will be. My guess will be that the fiscal cliff the federal government finds itself on will have a large impact on how we deliver services and equip our workforce.

An excellent collection of plenary speakers and panels, from both the private and public sector that gave me, as a new person to the world of Data, the confidence to ask questions, network, and really get started on building something within my own organization.
