Digital Government 2027

This popular, interactive conference is a must-attend event. It provides a valuable opportunity to bring together key stakeholders to gain insight into the government’s objectives for digital transformation and hear directly from those responsible for driving this forward. Take the time to reconnect and network with your peers and colleagues, key senior policy makers and decision takers. The conference also features a busy exhibition zone featuring some of Ireland’s most committed and innovative technology and solution providers.

Ireland remains a leader in digital government having ranked fifth overall out of 36 countries in the EU’s 2025 Open Data Maturity Assessment, and seventh in the OECD’s 2025 Digital Government Index showing the progress Ireland is making in building a modern, innovative and data‑driven public service.

In February 2026, the Government published a new National Digital and AI Strategy, Digital Ireland – Connecting our People, Securing our Future which sets out the Government’s ambition and vision to 2030 to ensure Ireland remains a digital leader in an increasingly competitive global environment. This strategy contains 20 high-level objectives, covering Public Services, Enterprise, Digital & AI Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Digital Regulation, Online Safety, and Skills and Talent.

Strategies including Better Public Services and Connecting Government 2030 are also shaping the way public services are designed and delivered – aiming to create a trusted, human-driven and inclusive digital government by the end of the decade. The latest update from the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation outlines progress in embedding user-centred design, strengthening data governance, and building digital capability across the State.

There are a number of challenges posed by rapid digital transformation, such as the increasing cybersecurity challenge, overcoming legacy systems, the need to drive forward digital inclusion, addressing critical skills gaps and the challenge of ensuring a user-centric approach to design and delivery.

This conference will feature a range of expert speakers who will talk about their digital transformation journey and look ahead to what’s next as organisations prepare for a digitally driven future.
