Digital Charter

Digital Birmingham is a city-wide initiative delivered by Birmingham City Council to make Birmingham a leading European Digital City by 2010. This aim is defined through a seven point charter covering the key stakeholder groups and sets out how digital technologies can benefit all who live, work and learn in or visit Birmingham.

Our mission is for these opportunities to become an entitlement for everyone.
