Digital Inclusion Taskforce Launch Meeting

Greater Manchester Combined Authority

Come along to the first Greater Manchester Digital Inclusion Taskforce  meeting to gain an understanding of the group and its ambitions.

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is gathering senior leaders, industry, community groups and local government to drive ambitions to be 100% digitally-enabled city-region with the formation of a new Digital Inclusion Taskforce.The Greater Manchester Digital Inclusion Taskforce, aims to address the barriers of digital exclusion and the digital divide. A new report by The Good Things Foundation and Liverpool University suggests that levels of digital exclusion are much worse than previously thought with over 700,000 people in Greater Manchester only using the internet in a narrow or limited way and a further 450,000 are classified as 'non-users.’ As many as 1.2m residents in Greater Manchester could be excluded in some way to access the benefits digital brings.The first meeting will be an opportunity to learn more about the intentions and purpose of the taskforce and a chance to understand the scale of the issue of digital inclusion in Greater Manchester. If your organisation has a stake in digital inclusion or benefits from people being online come along to this event to find out more about the new Taskforce. A full agenda for the meeting will be sent prior to the event.
