Here meet the builders of the future of the State.
Far from the heated debates of the world’s biggest platforms, the Government Tomorrow Summit provides a neutral, politically agnostic space for world leaders to meet and discuss the future of the State.
In coordination with people and organizations that shape how the world is governed, GTF convenes the most innovative thinkers and doers to deliver actionable advice that empowers the public and private sectors alike. Not “one more conference,” but a trusted union of bright minds focused on building results that empower conferences, governments, organizations, and people.
The 2026 edition will take place in Berlin, Germany, from October 10th to 12th.
The three key tracks of the Summit-2026
Technology
Software (from AI to operating systems), infrastructure, ecosystems — everything about how technology shapes societies.
Resilience
Service continuity, citizen experience in crises, and responses to challenges of all kinds: finding solutions to build resilient societies.
Bureaucracy, public services and policies, evaluation, and civic engagement.
State Capacity
Special formats
Outside of the official program, the Summit will host off-the-record meetings between decision-makers on the most sensitive topics of the modern era.
Alexandre Pointier, moderator of the “Hey, Government!” Workshop:
“ I expect disagreement, particularly on where the public/private line sits. That disagreement, written down clearly, is the most useful thing we can hand to every government that will face these choices in the coming years.”
Where the future is imagined, designed, and built.
October 10-12, 2026 | Starting at €500
