Digital Infrastructure
In today’s rapidly evolving world, digital connectivity is paramount for driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and enhancing quality of life for our residents. Its existing assets mean that the Liverpool City Region is already one of the most digitally connected city regions – and we have the potential to be the best. Building upon the installation of the 214km LCR Connect ultrafast, full fibre network we are embarking on a journey to leverage technology to create a vibrant, inclusive and resilient city region.
Find out more on our digital infrastructure projects and how they will improve connectivity across the City Region.
Digital Inclusion
Digital Inclusion is about ensuring everyone has the skills, access, motivation and confidence to take part in a modern digital life, and are able to take advantage of the benefits this brings. Almost every part of life has a digital element: using the NHS App, shopping online, connecting with loved ones. Meaning having access to digital devices, connectivity and skills is becoming increasingly essential.
