Solent Digital Solutions

For Isle of Wight, Portsmouth & Southampton businesses to take the next step into digital tech

The Solent Digital Solutions Programme is an opportunity for small businesses to access focussed support with digital and technological adoption. It has been developed to help new and established small businesses increase productivity and growth when implementing new technologies and to utilise the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence.

Businesses will be guided through the programme by a lead mentor who will work with them to identify the specific opportunities and challenges relating to digital adoption in their business. The lead mentor works with our partners at Digital Boost to connect each participant with expert mentors in the most relevant fields.

As part of this programme, Solent Growth Partnership will be hosting a number of events with expert speakers from a range of organisations. These sessions will focus on topics that can add real value to businesses as they navigate their digital adoption journey.

These will include, but are not limited to:

• Using AI to grow your business
• Marketing your business digitally
• Managing your workforce, performance and operations digitally
• Ensuring your business is digitally secure
• Digital content creation
• Optimising your digital presence
