Digital Southampton

Digital Southampton is an exciting initiative, led by Business Solent in association with Prof. Dame Wendy Hall, a world leader in Computer Sciences and Professor Nigel Shadbolt.

The group aims to:

• Ensure Southampton has the right infrastructure to be a fully connected, ‘WiFi’ City, bringing a consortium together to coordinate successful implementation through collaborative working between the private and public sectors and education.
• Provide support and advocacy for the development of the ‘Digital Footprint’ – a marketing tool to link and promote Southampton digitally.
• Explore and pursue commercial development opportunities for ‘Linked Open Data’ – the next stage of web evolution – for the benefit of businesses and the wider community of Southampton and its region.
• Provide the catalyst for the development of a ‘Digital Cluster’ for the Southampton city region to promote entrepreneurship, innovation and to aid business development and economic growth, together with increased skills and employment opportunities.
