Today, Northern Ireland is at a digital tipping point, technology is evolving at a rapid pace and with that demand for digital is rising.
But with 90% of Northern Ireland citizens believing our public services are suitable for digitisation, now is the time to bring everyone together and embrace the next stage of our digital evolution.
In looking to the future, leaders across the nation joined us to discuss some of the most pertinent areas with the aim of accelerating Northern Ireland's digital journey.
