ScotlandIS, the trade body and cluster management organisation for Scotland’s technology sector, has become a signatory of the Digital Inclusion Charter that launched last year.
Scotland’s tech sector is shaping the future, but a growing digital skills gap risks holding us back. Too many people still lack the access and skills to fully participate in the digitally—meaning untapped talent and missed opportunities for our sector.
That’s why SCVO, in partnership with the Scottish Government, launched Scotland’s Digital Inclusion Charter in August 2024. Digital inclusion isn’t just a social issue—it’s key to building a skilled workforce, driving innovation, and ensuring Scotland remains competitive.
The Charter is more than just a loose collection of pledges. It’s a framework to help you understand and embed digital inclusion into how you work. SCVO believes that digital inclusion is everyone’s responsibility – the Charter is how we make it happen.
For over a decade, cross-sector collaboration has helped close the gap, but there’s more we can do together. Signing the Charter is a simple, free way to show your support for a more inclusive, digitally confident Scotland—one where businesses and individuals alike can thrive.
ScotlandIS is proud to show its support in reducing the digital skills gap and raising awareness around digital inclusion.
Three reasons to sign the Charter:
- Tackle the digital skills gap – A more digitally confident Scotland means a stronger talent pipeline for your business and the wider economy.
- Drive innovation and growth – Digital inclusion helps more people engage with technology, creating new opportunities for business and sector-wide progress.
- Demonstrate leadership – Join a network of organisations committed to making Scotland a fairer, more digitally inclusive place to live and work.
