Digital Union, the North East network of digital and creative businesses says it will publish a manifesto to outline how it will overcome the challenges for the sector in the region.
It will be hosting a collaborative event this month, so that those within the industry can say what they believe should be in the document.
“We want to see how Digital Union can play a part to plug any gaps and campaign for change,” explained networks manager Rachel Peacock.
“We’re using this event to work with the local authorities, LEPs, and educational institutions to ensure they are doing as much as possible to support and promote the growing North East creative, digital and tech sector.
“With the help of our members, we also want to outline what the priorities are for us at Digital Union, so that we can get on the campaign trail and bring problems to the fore and work with partners to produce much needed solutions.”
Samantha Grigg, lead marketing guru, at Blu Sky, explained why it was important, particularly now:
“With legal changes like GDPR fast approaching, and Brexit not far behind, it’s vital that the creative, digital and tech community comes together to share their learnings and experiences, worries and challenges.”
The event takes place on January 31st.
