WE'VE BEEN RECOGNISED IN THIS YEARS DIGITAL LEADERS 100 LISTING!

We are honoured to announce that Digital Birmingham have been nominated for the ‘Digital Council of the Year’ award for Birmingham City Council in this year’s Digital Leaders 100!

The Digital Leaders 100 is a digital leaders programme launched in 2013 as a new way to recognise individuals and organisations who demonstrate a pioneering and sustainable approach to digital transformation across the public, private and non-profit sectors.

Each year, the digital leaders community together with the wider digital sector, nominate their favourites across each of the 10 categories with 10 available places to create a final list of 100. Following the announcement of this list each year, a public vote is opened to put the 100 names into a final order and these votes are combined with the views of an eminent judges panel of 10 leading digital experts from our community.
 
The ‘Digital Council of the Year’ category recognises those Councils that over the last year have delivered measurable digital transformation either internally in their organisation or in the way they are providing their public services.
