Digital Innovation Centre

Inspiring and promoting innovation for businesses large and small

Nottinghamshire’s new Digital Innovation Centre provides a showcase for the best emerging innovations in the county.

Local businesses and innovators can access support to develop and commercialise new ideas, including access to 5G networking and an augmented/virtual reality showcase space.

The centre also acts as a hub to support local schools and colleges in raising the career horizons of their students and giving them the information they need to take the opportunities of emerging technologies.

The Digital Innovation Centre also works closely with Nottinghamshire's 5G Connected Forest project, inspiring new ways to adopt 5G to protect and promote our treasured natural and cultural heritage.

Via the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), £592,000 from the Government’s Getting Building Fund has been allocated to help create the new centre.
