Bristol's Vision
Summary
Bristol is a melting-pot of people, cultures and ideas. World-leading digital creative industries flourish here and the city’s productivity is virtually unrivalled nationally. But too many citizens and communities remain outside of this success.
Connecting Bristol is a vision for bridging the divides that hold back the city from achieving its full potential. Digital literacy is the key to social inclusion.
Our intention is that Bristol become a recognised national and international showcase for digital inclusion and innovation. Through the local to global connections that we establish, Connecting Bristol will make a difference, not only to local communities but also to the sustainable future of the planet.
The Digital Challenge Bid:
Connecting Bristol developed a 10,000 word proposal in response to the Governments Digital Challenge. The principals outlined in the proposal underpin Bristol’s ongoing commitment to increasing opportunities through digital inclusion.
