GMCA Digitober 2023

Organised by GMCA (Greater Manchester Combined Authority), Digitober is set to shine a spotlight on digital inclusion, innovation in public services, resilient infrastructure, and our role as global digital influencers.

In February 2023, GMCA refreshed the Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint. The blueprint sets out the next chapter in the ambition to be recognised as a world-leading digital city region. We remain committed to being a digital city-region with a difference.

Digitober is a month that will celebrate and showcase the amazing work of Greater Manchester’s digital sector. In particular, the month will:

• Showcase how partners across the region are ensuring everyone in Greater Manchester, whatever their age, location or situation, can safely access and benefit from the opportunities digital brings if they want to.
• Shine a spotlight on GMCA's digital inclusion ambitions.
• Highlight how Greater Manchester is applying exemplary digital ideas and practice to reform and renew public services, linking innovative business, academic and public sector thinking with the needs of our people.
• Celebrate Greater Manchester's world class digital infrastructure and how GMCA are using technology and data to create resilient, connected, accessible and sustainable places for everyone. 
• Spotlight how GMCA are strengthening their position as a global digital influencer.

At Digital Futures, we are proud to be part of this exciting initiative, and throughout the month, we will be releasing a video, mailings and a brochure to highlight the work we do in AI at the University. 

As we celebrate Digitober, we invite you to join us on this digital journey. Stay tuned for the release of our AI video and brochure, and explore the incredible work happening in our University's AI ecosystem.
