Digital technologies are essential in today’s modern world. These days, organisations (maybe even yours!) expect staff, clients and customers to have sufficient digital access and skills to use online services. But even in countries with high levels of digital infrastructure like the UK, significant digital inequalities remain.
This digital divide limits opportunities, hinders economic productivity, and exacerbates social inequalities. Supporting digital inclusion could unlock over £13.7 billion in tangible economic benefits for the UK and enable millions to become happier, healthier and better off.
Your organisation can play a vital role in fixing the digital divide by partnering with us.
Become a corporate or strategic partner
Our mission, to fix the digital divide for good, is bold and ambitious. We need collaborative and innovative partners to help us tackle the deepening digital exclusion in our society.
Since launching our strategy to fix the digital divide, we’ve developed strong partnerships with a number of trusted organisations. They’ve made a significant investment in multi-year partnerships to help us achieve our vision of a digitally inclusive society.
By becoming a corporate partner, you’ll collaborate with like-minded experts to address the deepening digital divide. You’ll advocate for action with various stakeholders, including the government, businesses, and the public; use industry experience to tackle key challenges; and increase engagement with the thousands of Digital Inclusion Hubs in the National Digital Inclusion Network.
