Our remit is to act as the major catalyst for change in leading, shaping and transforming ICT usage within the Greater Nottingham conurbation and the County; supporting future workforce, business, education and community developments.

Accelerate Nottingham has four key objectives:

• Encourage a new business prosperity and better quality of life by making businesses and citizens aware of the advantages that new technology brings
  
• Demonstrate how ICT initiatives can be used to tackle Greater Nottingham’s challenges
  
• Draw on a wide range of technical knowledge, experience and thought leadership in order to initiate the best long-term innovative solutions
  
• Act as a partnership vehicle for the funding and delivery of integrated conurbation-wide ICT projects that would not happen otherwise. Identify best practice locally, regionally nationally and internationally and disseminate to partners

Accelerate Nottingham provides the strategic advantage needed to achieve these goals. Accelerate Nottingham’s unique combination of high level business, local authority, academic and community partners creates driving leadership for large scale cross-sectoral ICT projects.
