One week until Rebooting State Capacity

Join us next weekend to build tech for critical gov capability gaps, or reinvent the delivery of a public service

One week until the Rebooting State Capacity Hackathon, 26-27th April 2025!

The opportunity to ship a new capability solving a real problem over a weekend, with direct feedback from end users, frontline operators, and potential adopters across government departments & agencies. Register here.

We've now sourced additional, critical challenges from the National Cyber Security Centre, the Home Office, the Bank of England & the Department for Business and Trade.

We're pleased to have Palantir Technologies, ElevenLabs & Scope join us as partners, alongside 10 Downing Street, Basis Capital, Delian Alliance Industries & PUBLIC! Looking forward to interactive sessions delivered by Palantir Technologies & PUBLIC on Saturday 26th — and grateful for advisers from various other organisations who will be on hand for technical input next weekend.

If you're a civil servant or frontline operator, submit a problem holding back progress in your unit, department, agency or broader government, or email <info@ilikethefuture.com>. You're also encouraged to join us on the day to give direct feedback & guidance on solutions as they're developed.

​Prizes for Rebooting State Capacity:
£1,000, £500, & £250, with an additional (stackable) Basis Prize of £1,000 for the best demo 'Outcompeting the Government' — creating a commercially viable alternative to a public service.
