ISLE of WIGHT: DIGITAL ISLAND

ISLE of WIGHT: DIGITAL ISLAND

2017 - 2018

The Digital Island Programme is the digital strand of the Isle of Wight’s regeneration strategy, looking specifically at the role of digital technologies in the Island’s economic and social development.

Unfolding led the initial engagement and strategy work on behalf of smart societies consultancy Perform Green and Isle of White Council. This work involved in-person and online stakeholder engagement workshops, both around general shape and progress of the strategy development, and on specific elements of the strategy such as connectivity, as well as interviews and network-building. Unfolding also provided content support for the Solent Digital Conference, held in Newport in September 2017.

In April 2018, this digital regeneration strategy work was awarded Smart Island of the Year at the Smart Island World Congress.
