Adopting Emerging Tech in Government

As blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality continue to create buzz throughout the tech industry, government agencies are exploring ways to apply emerging tech to empower their workforce and deliver innovative services to the public.

Key to moving forward is the ability for agencies to define emerging tech use cases and get started with piloting new ideas. Roadblocks can include limitations with budget and the skills required to deploy these technologies.

Hear from innovators at the leading edge of emerging tech in government at the next Microsoft Azure Government DC meetup, How Government is Adopting Emerging Tech, on Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at 1776 in Washington, DC. Join us and gain insight from our speakers who will share how agencies are approaching strategy, challenges, use cases and workforce readiness as they leverage emerging tech to innovate for their mission.
