Digital Strategy

The Digital Strategy aims to create a ‘digital masterplan’ for the Manchester city-region.

This plan will be used to guide future investment and bring together industry, research bodies and community representatives to develop new ideas for services that will benefit residents, local business and the wider community.

One of the key aims for the Strategy is to put in place super-fast broadband across Manchester. We aim to do this by creating a new ‘open access’ network, putting in place fibre to the premises connections, advanced wireless and a new internet ‘Hub’ exchange.
