Many communities do not have the connectivity they need, and risk being left behind as digital infrastructure supports livelihoods, our economy and regional ambitions. More widely, sustainable transport, achieving net zero and economic prosperity are all enabled (or diminished) by digital connectivity. The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority’s Digital Office pilot aims to deliver co-ordinated and targeted interventions to aid infrastructure deployment, improving digital connectivity for people and businesses across the West of England region.
This placement will provide an exciting opportunity to support the development of robust estimates to quantify the impact of investment in regional digital infrastructure on economic growth. Initially, we would like to establish a suitable methodological approach for developing these estimates through a literature review of economic analysis methods. This review will inform defined economic analysis and further collaboration between the Combined Authority and its academic partners.
As a result, the Digital Office will be able to improve organisational understanding of the benefits associated with enhanced digital connectivity, ensuring that digital connectivity and digital inclusion are seen as key enablers for growth, helping residents secure good jobs, progress in work and benefit from digitisation.
Please get in touch with Simon Moss to express interest.
