Given that Manchester is one of Europe’s fastest growing cities it should come as no surprise at how proud we are to be one of the sponsors for the Manchester Digital Skills Festival. Growing our digital skills base is a key pillar of Manchester's continued economic growth and success, and we want to make sure that Manchester is known nationwide for our expertise in this vitally important sector. It feels fitting that this year we are the sponsor of the Ecosystem Partner, as a key convener under the Doing Digital Together Strategy, to enable our residents to access our digital sector opportunities.

Manchester has the ambition to be a world leading digital city. Doing Digital Together is our city’s approach to making this a reality, putting people and business at the heart of our collective efforts, to build a fair future for everyone. Naturally, people are our biggest assets and the digital skills of our residents and employees are critical to a thriving economy! Collectively, we have taken great strides in nurturing our local talent, with Manchester recognised, by UNESCO, as a world class City of Lifelong Learning. The Digital Skills Festival will shape the next phase of our city's Lifelong Learning journey.
