We want Wales to be a more inclusive, sustainable and prosperous society. Making sure everyone can enjoy the benefits of technology is a key part of that.

Achieving digital inclusion for the people of Wales is a key objective of Digital Wales. This especially applies to people being able to use the internet in ways that will enhance their lives and help them overcome other disadvantages which they might face.

We are making specific proposals to address digital exclusion in Wales through the Digital Inclusion Framework and enhance our understanding of:

  • Who is missing out on the benefits of the internet;
  • Why this may be happening;
  • What steps can be taken to start addressing the issues.
