The National Cloud Strategy

Tuesday 14 April 2026 – 4.00pm to 5.00pm BST

Led by Dr Tommaso Spinelli, GDS Cloud & Platform Service Owner and AI Research Fellow

As Cloud use grows in line with “Cloud First” policy, and debates on national resilience, security, and sustainability intensify, GDS is producing a National Cloud Strategy to drive alignment on key aspects of cloud adoption across government departments, public sector, and industry.

In this talk, Dr Spinelli, GDS Cloud & Platform Service Owner and AI Research Fellow, will provide an overview of the forthcoming National Cloud Strategy and of the cross-sector user research underpinning it, highlighting how cloud is a critical enabler of AI and a prerequisite for modern digital government.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
