Capgemini at Highways UK 2026

Capgemini’s Sustainable Futures team helps organisations turn sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes through net zero strategy, data-led transformation and sustainable operations. In the transport sector, we have helped rail operators use digital innovation to achieve up to 30% energy savings and 30% reductions in operating costs, demonstrating how technology can support lower-carbon, more efficient infrastructure and transport networks.

Capgemini helps organisations improve asset data quality, strengthen asset lifecycle management and create trusted information that supports planning, investment and operational decisions. By connecting business processes, technology platforms and data governance, we help turn fragmented asset information into actionable intelligence, enabling more informed decisions across the strategic road network and improving long-term asset performance.

Capgemini helps create a connected, intelligent operating environment that combines strong service foundations with data-driven decision making. Building on our experience across Service Management, Service Catalogue and Digital Workplace Solutions, we help establish the processes and data foundations needed to improve service performance and resilience. By applying AI, advanced analytics and intelligent automation, we help improve data quality, generate actionable insights, optimise resource allocation and enable faster, more informed decisions that deliver better outcomes for colleagues, partners and road users.

Extreme weather is no longer the exception; it’s the new operating context. As we enter this era of climate chaos, preparedness and adaptability is critical to maintaining business continuity and protecting infrastructure assets. This session will explore how digital technology, data and AI can be used to anticipate and solve problems before they happen, with examples including the use of AI tree canopy analysis to aid cooling and network resilience, and modelling the impact of rising temperatures on critical digital infrastructure. We will show you how you can use resilience as a driver to move your organisation to a proactive position that ensures your assets survive and thrive, whatever the climate throws at us.

Construction faces a perfect storm, with talent shortages, supply chain disruption and cost inflation leading to chronic overruns and spiralling costs. Traditional engineering methods alone cannot solve this crisis, but there are digital solutions at hand which can be transformative for large-scale infrastructure delivery while also baking in regulatory standards. This session will explore how construction can be reimagined using technologies such as agentic AI, with enormous benefits for budgets, efficiency, reputation, environmental impact and sustainability. It is a seismic moment for the industry; we will show you how to seize it.
