Technology and Innovation Skills Development Zone

Procurement is changing across the UK, and it’s no different in Scotland, where technological change led by Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and Big Data continues to transform the way public procurement is conducted, as well as the skills required by procurement staff.

These technologies are also among the services buyers are purchasing in significant numbers as the public sector moves further towards digitisation, and there is an increasing focus on buyers and suppliers to work together to foster innovation and develop new solutions to address public challenges.

The Technology and Innovation Zone at Procurex Scotland will host several sessions led by expert speakers on the benefits, impacts and challenges of AI and other technologies in procurement activity, and how innovation can help to deliver the public services of tomorrow.
