Details

This event is dedicated to bringing the digital sector together with public sector leaders to discuss how we can accelerate transformation of transport and its supporting infrastructure.

As the backbone of our country, it is critical we ensure that transport is system capable of meeting modern demands and powering the economy in a way which is environmentally sustainable. Digital technologies are the bedrock of this transition, enabling network optimisiation, improved passenger experiences and driving decarbonisation.

We will take stock of this transition in a year defined by elections, economic headwinds and rapid innovation. We will discuss the opportunity of getting digital transformation right, the challenges to overcome and drive partnerships across the public and private sectors.

The conference will have three main tracks:
• Championing innovation in transport - The transport sector makes a vital contribution to the UK but is often sidelined in terms of investment and political priority. We will discuss how the digital sector can play a role in addressing this challenge.
• Harnessing the power of data, AI and analytics - The transport sector has an opportunity to benefit from latest innovation in data and AI. We will discuss how we can drive progress in use of applications to create better outcomes for customers, economy and environment.
• Unlocking barriers to net zero - As one of the heaviest emitting sectors, the transport sector urgently needs to accelerate progress to net zero. Digital technologies are a key transition pathway, but blockers to faster deployment remain. We will discuss navigating these and ensuring net zero remains top of the agenda.
