By now, the news is out that Tech in Gov will launch with Identity Week Europe in 2027, creating a dedicated space to invest in the government’s digital public transformation.
In addition to discussing onboarding challenges and state identity programmes, the conference will go further to examine data governance, AI, and technology critical to modern government.
Identity Week Europe 2026, held in Amsterdam, features a strong line-up of government officials, international public sector leaders, and state-backed entities, who will gather next week (9-10 June) to hedge their bets on the innovation and rollout of digital wallets, border security tech, biometric authentication, and anti-fraud documents across Europe.
Tech in Gov Europe will benefit from an established ecosystem of government and technology leaders, like these speakers attending in Amsterdam.
