DigiGov 2025: Shaping the Future of Digital Government with TXP

DigiGov Expo 2025, held at ExCeL London, brought together over 3,000 public sector digital, data, and technology professionals for two days of insights, innovation, and collaboration. With more than 125 expert speakers and over 150 tech suppliers, the event showcased the latest in public sector digital transformation. From modernising infrastructure to harnessing AI, DigiGov 2025 highlighted how government departments are evolving to meet the demands of the digital age. 

As a leading partner in public sector transformation, TXP was at the forefront, demonstrating how our capabilities can drive meaningful change. Here’s a look at the key themes and emerging trends we identified at the event. 

Key Themes and Topics 

1. Government ICT – Modernising Public Sector Infrastructure

Robust IT infrastructure is the foundation of digital transformation. DigiGov 2025 emphasised moving away from legacy systems toward flexible, cloud-enabled solutions. Speakers highlighted successful migration strategies, cost efficiencies, and the importance of interoperability. The takeaway: modern infrastructure empowers public servants to deliver smarter, faster, and more reliable services to citizens. 

TXP specialises in Legacy Modernisation, Mainframe Modernisation, and Gen Modernisation, helping public sector organisations transition from outdated systems to scalable, cloud-based platforms. We recently supported a major government department with a mainframe modernisation programme, enabling them to decommission legacy systems, reduce costs, and move to a cloud-native platform. This not only improved resilience but freed up resources to reinvest in citizen-facing services. 

2. Citizen Experience – Putting People at the Heart of Digital Services

User-centric design was a recurring focus. Panels explored how intuitive interfaces, personalised interactions, and responsive design can dramatically enhance public engagement. Governments are leveraging feedback loops and analytics to continuously refine services. The message: a government that listens and adapts earns trust and delivers meaningful impact. 

Through our Product Development and Data, Analytics & AI services, TXP enables public sector organisations to create tailored digital solutions that prioritise user experience. For example, we worked with an arms-length body to redesign a citizen service portal, applying user research and analytics to simplify navigation. This led to a platform that better reflected citizen needs, reduced drop-off rates, and improved satisfaction scores.

3. GovTech – Harnessing Innovation for Smarter Governance

GovTech is transforming how governments operate. AI, IoT, and blockchain were showcased as tools to automate tasks, streamline operations, and improve decision-making. Startups and established tech providers demonstrated predictive analytics, process automation, and cross-department collaboration tools. The narrative was clear: innovation is essential for creating agile, forward-looking governments. 

Our Data, Analytics & AI capabilities empower organisations to harness the power of emerging technologies. We partnered with Phoebus Software Limited to redesign and build Phoebus 2.0, delivering a modern, intuitive UX/UI and a modular architecture built for scalability. The upgrade modernised workflows and usability while preserving full support for complex financial product servicing.

4. Cybersecurity & Data Protection – Safeguarding Public Trust

Security remains non-negotiable. DigiGov 2025 stressed building resilient frameworks to protect sensitive citizen data while maintaining transparency and compliance. From threat intelligence to zero-trust architectures, the focus was on proactive defence. Trust is earned, and robust cybersecurity is central to successful digital transformation. 

With our Cyber Security services, TXP helps public sector organisations implement robust security measures that protect data integrity and maintain public trust. Our proactive approach ensures that digital services are secure, compliant, and resilient against emerging threats. 

Emerging Trends 

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation – Smarter Services for Citizens

AI is no longer futuristic, it’s practical. Governments are deploying AI to automate routine tasks, guide policy decisions, and deliver personalised services. Chatbots, predictive analytics, and automation tools allow public servants to focus on higher-value work. Ethical AI, transparency, and fairness were highlighted as critical considerations in adopting these technologies.

2. Data-Driven Decision Making – Turning Information into Insight

Advanced analytics are helping governments make evidence-based decisions. Real-time dashboards, predictive modelling, and data visualisation tools enable policymakers to anticipate citizen needs and optimise resources. Data is no longer just information, it’s the foundation of responsive, accountable governance.

3. Cloud Computing – Flexible, Scalable, Cost-Effective IT

Cloud adoption continues to reshape public sector IT. Hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, combined with security-conscious migration plans, allow governments to innovate faster, reduce costs, and respond to crises more effectively. Cloud computing creates a government that is agile, scalable, and future-ready.

4. Digital Inclusion – Ensuring No Citizen is Left Behind

Digital transformation must serve everyone. DigiGov 2025 emphasised accessibility, simplified interfaces, and outreach to underserved communities. Digital literacy initiatives ensure equitable access to services, bridging societal gaps and reinforcing trust. Inclusion is central to building a government that empowers all citizens.

5. Cybersecurity Resilience – Protecting Data and Public Confidence

As digital services expand, proactive cybersecurity is critical. Threat detection, zero-trust frameworks, incident response planning, and staff training were key discussion points. Security is more than protection, it’s about maintaining public confidence and enabling safe, effective digital transformation. 

Conclusion 

DigiGov 2025 reinforced that the future of government is digital, innovative, and citizen-focused. From modernised ICT infrastructure to AI-powered services, from cloud adoption to digital inclusion, the event highlighted both the challenges and the opportunities of public sector transformation. The message was clear: collaboration, innovation, and security are the pillars of a modern, trusted, and responsive government.
