Join Manchester City Council’s Leader Bev Craig for the launch of Manchester’s new digital strategy, which sets the vision for Manchester’s digital future and what we need to do to make sure we have digitally skilled residents, future-proofed infrastructure, a thriving digital economy and a digitally enabled transition to zero-carbon. The digital strategy sets the priorities that our whole city – our public, private, voluntary and community organisations and our residents – will be able to work on together to make Manchester one of the world’s leading smart cities and digital economies in the next five years.


In this session you will be able to learn more about what the strategy will achieve, how it will be delivered, and how you can play at part in making it a success.

Case StudyThought Leadership
GMCAIn Greater Manchester, we are doing digital differently. We are committed to being a digital city-region that puts our residents at the heart of our plans and are working towards our ambitions to be recognised as a world leading digital city-region. In 2020, Greater Manchester Combined Authority launched a new Digital Blueprint for the region, which sets out a three-year approach to meeting our ambitions for our city-region. Within the Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint we set out our digital priorities, which are clearly focused on delivering benefits that help our city-regions people lead healthier and happier lives. Each of our priorities – co-designed and developed with the input of key stakeholders - are supported by pan - Greater Manchester public sector projects. These combine with inclusive community, local authority, private, not-for-profit and academic work. Our plan connects the wealth of digital change that’s going on, and will help us reach a shared ambition that underpins and enables both the Local Industrial Strategy and the Greater Manchester Strategy. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is made up of the ten Greater Manchester councils and Mayor, who work with other local services, businesses, communities and other partners to improve the city-region.
