It goes without saying, now is the right time for local governments and communities to accelerate their digital development, at scale. Not only because there is a unique opportunity with federal and state governments which committed to provide over $97 billions in funding to unserved or underserved communities, but also because connected, digital services can bring very significant benefits to you community:

- Improvement of public services delivered to all your citizens and inclusion of the most deprived ones,

- Increased resiliency of these public services, in case of crisis

- Economic attractiveness

- Help meet some of your sustainable development goals.

If it’s easy to say, it is a bit more complex to execute. In this webinar we will look at solutions and best practices that local governments can leverage to accelerate the definition and execution of their digital agenda:

- How to define and build an optimized digital infrastructure that can both bridge the digital divide, and allows to deploy at scale a roadmap of digital public services to modernize your community?

- What’s needed to facilitate and submit successful grant applications for federal and state funding programs?

- How can local governments also work with private investors to support their project?

 

Our speakers coming from local government, investment funds and government affairs will share their experience to answer these questions and guide local governments in this unique exercise.
