Leaving no one behind in the digital world
Dutch
There is a large digital divide in Belgium: almost 40% of the population is considered digitally vulnerable. Moreover, almost 1 in 5 children in Belgium grows up in poverty. How do you deal with this inequality as a society, government or organization? How do you ensure that your products or services do not exclude anyone digitally?
Poor access to digital services is so widespread that it requires a strong, collective approach. Only if brands, companies and government agencies join forces can we close this digital gap.
That is why we are organising a warm and meaningful evening on e-inclusion together with Digital for Youth.
