The Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint

In Greater Manchester, we are doing digital differently. We remain committed to being a digital city-region with a difference. By putting people, the environment and place at the heart of our plans, we aim for a more inclusive and sustainable approach that builds on our greatest assets.

Originally launched in February 2020, in May 2023 we refreshed Greater Manchester's Digital Blueprint. The Blueprint identifies five digital priorities and four key strategic enablers, developed in collaboration with stakeholders from across Greater Manchester's digital sector, sharing strategic commitments to put our people, our environment, and our place firmly at the heart of our plans.
