GovTech Leaders 2027

GovTech Leaders returns in 2027 for its 8th edition! This time, the conference will be part of DigiTech Summit Vilnius, a high-level event taking place during Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Organised by Lithuania’s Innovation Agency, GovTech Leaders is an international conference bringing together public sector leaders, policymakers, technology experts, innovators and researchers to explore how technology can transform government and public services. In 2025, the conference welcomed over 300 participants from 15 countries, creating a space for international dialogue, knowledge sharing and collaboration.

At its core, GovTech Leaders is about public sector innovation – exploring how emerging technologies, new approaches and collaboration between government and innovators can help address complex challenges, improve public services and build more responsive, resilient institutions. The conference offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from international experiences and shape the future of digital government.

In 2027, powered by our partnership with GovTech4All, the conference will explore signals of optimism in a world shaped by geopolitical challenges, rapid technological advancement and growing techno-pessimism.

How can we remain optimistic about the future when technological change is accelerating and uncertainty is becoming the norm? How can we ensure that innovation strengthens democracy, public institutions and societal resilience?

GovTech Leaders 2027 invites us to rethink optimism – not as blind faith in technology, but as confidence in our collective ability to shape outcomes rather than merely react to disruption.
