Health Innovation NENC has been supporting the efforts to create a regional digital inclusion forum. We have been working with partners across the region to co-develop what this might look like. Our next forum brings together the existing and future members to continue the dialogue and identify best practices that can be shared across the region.
Please join us on Monday 10th June 2024 from 1:30-3:00pm to continue this great discussion and be part of a regional digital inclusion forum that supports, connects and drives an inclusive and accessible digital transformation agenda and supports ‘No one left behind’.
As in previous forums, the session will include time dedicated to the discussion around the speakers and how we take this forward.
We would be delighted for you to join us and help to shape the forum for the future.
If you have additional needs, please email [email protected] and we’ll do what we can to help you.
