Its mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people's lives better. Now in its fifth year it has won multiple awards and built up a credible international following in the CivTech/GovTech space. The programme takes problems from across the public sector and opens them up to innovators to solve. Through a streamlined procurement process, a cohort of companies are selected. At the heart of the programme is a highly successful accelerator programme through which the cohort is taken over a period of four months. In the wake of the Covid crisis, the future is uncertain - there isn't a 'new normal', there might even be a 'never normal'. All the more reason to urgently innovate the future. And this is the theme of our demo week in February. Sponsorship opportunities We are compiling two sponsorship packages: - CivTech 5.0 Accelerator Sponsor and headline Demo Week sponsor - Demo Week - Theme sponsors.
