MCIN supports the digital challenge
Posted by Gary on February 23, 2007
Gary Copitch the Director of MCIN travelled down to London along with Dave Carter (MDDA), Vin Sumner ( Clicks and Links) and Cathy Garner (Knowledge Capital) to present the One Manchester Digital Challenge bid. The presentation and questions were challenging but as a team we managed to answer them. We can only know wait and see. MCIN s being heavily involved in the Digital Challenge bid from the beginning and is an active supporter of the bid. We can know only wait and see. The result will be announced on March 13th by Angela Smith MP.

DIGITAL CHALLENGE AND DIGITAL STRATEGY
Two important events are getting very close: firstly, the Digital Challenge
award ceremony (see below) and, secondly, the final draft of the revised
Digital Strategy for the Manchester City-Region is now out for consultation.
You can download it from the MDDA website and the ONE-Manchester Blog and we need your comments and input by March 31st. see http://www.manchesterdda.com/onemanchester/
The Digital Challenge awards ceremony takes place in London on Tuesday March 13th and it will be webcast live via the Digital Challenge website:

The announcements are expected to take place from about 12.45 to 2pm. Hope fully you can watch us win and, otherwise, join the commiserations. Either way everyone’s a winner and we are hoping for other announcements from Government on the day to put at least some resources behind that sentiment.
Best wishes
Dave
