We warmly invite all London borough digital inclusion leads and their key partners to take part in the first of two LOTI workshops.

About the Digital Inclusion Innovation Programme

The London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI) was established to help its members (19 London boroughs, the GLA and London Councils) to collaborate on projects that bring the best of digital, data and innovation to improve public services and outcomes for Londoners. Read more about our work at: https://loti.london/.

We’re now supporting London’s Digital Access Mission for all, which has a goal for “Every Londoner to have access to good connectivity, basic digital skills and the device or support they need to be online by 2025.”

As part of this mission, the GLA and LOTI are launching The Digital Inclusion Innovation Programme (DIIP). The intention of this programme is to work with partners in the public, third and private sectors to discover, design, develop and scale initiatives that support digitally excluded Londoners who have been left particularly vulnerable during the Covid pandemic.

What's the aim of this workshop?

We want to avoid duplicating and build on and learn from existing work. In this workshop, we’d like to:

Check we’re aware of all the different activities you have conducted or are working on now to support digitally excluded residents
Understand the challenges and barriers you've faced and what you’ve done to overcome them
Explore what other projects would be desirable and add value to what you’re already doing.

Here's what we need from you in advance of the workshop

To make this workshop productive, we kindly ask you to share details of any digital inclusion projects your borough has undertaken here.

Please forward this invite to other colleagues who might have ideas to share.

We look forward to seeing you there!
