Over the past year, digital connections have been a vital lifeline for many homes and business. Accelerating digital transformation in our region is a priority for the Combined Authority.
Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of an organisation or place, fundamentally changing how it operates. It is not merely a technology challenge but also a people challenge.
We're working to reduce the barriers which make it hard for residents and businesses to benefit from digital transformation and get online.
By investing in digital skills we’re supporting our home-grown talent to up-skill and gain confidence using online services and digital devices.
We’re enabling businesses to embrace new technologies, which can help us tackle regional challenges, including delivering our Net Zero targets.
We're offering businesses wide-ranging support to help introduce the right technology to tackle business challenges.
