Launched on 22 September 2021, the project supports micro, small and medium-sized businesses to develop digital technology tools through funding and one to one support and continues a successful pilot conducted in early 2021.
Go Digital is delivered by Norfolk County Council, in partnership with local district authorities, to help businesses based in the county identify digital opportunities. It will provide expert one-to-one consultancy and the ability to apply for grants of up to £500. Digital opportunities could include how to sell products and services online, reach new customers using social media, build customer databases, develop new or existing websites and attract new visitors, or how to work out the best homeworking options for teams. Successful Go Digital applicants will be assigned an experienced business advisor who will conduct a ‘digital audit’ and provide a comprehensive report to identify digital opportunities. The advisor will help the business put together an action plan and then businesses will have the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to £500 to help them deliver projects using this plan.
Businesses can find out more and apply on the Norfolk County Council website at www.norfolk.gov.uk/GoDigital.
The funding for 600 additional spaces on Go Digital has been enabled by the Interreg EU funded C-Care Project. C-Care project is a cross border France – England project, aiming to support people and businesses to recover from the impact of the Covid pandemic.
