There is a direct causal link between digital infrastructure investment and economic growth – research from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) estimate £20 net economic impact for every £1 public investment in digital infrastructure. Digital innovation and improved productivity could enable exponential growth in skills and jobs and transform the Liverpool City Region, particularly in areas where we are already strong, such as high-performance computing, infectious diseases, advanced manufacturing, personalised medical care and culture (including e-gaming). Better digital connectivity will also offer Local Authorities and the health sector an opportunity to explore the innovation of public services. Digital transformation of public sector service delivery could be a game-changer for the residents of LCR.
