About the Forum
The Forum works closely with the Isle of Man Government and other industry associations to actively promote the digital sector whose importance as a key contributor to economic development and employment continues to grow.
A number of the Forum members also sit on other digital-related committees and keep the Forum updated on different initiatives, forming a cohesive unit.
Priorities and Objectives
- To represent the interests of Chamber members on digital matters, the broader Manx digital sector (suppliers and users) and encourage regular dialogue between key stakeholders
- To seek to influence IOM Government to ensure the right environment is in place to support the success and future development of the existing digital sector and to encourage new inward investment
- To work closely with the Department for Enterprise (DfE) to identify which new niche sectors the IOM should proactively target in order to diversify our e-business offering
- To work closely with the eGaming Strategic Advisory Board to help to shape and influence the development of the eGaming sector and related economic activity to protect the existing sector, aid the continued growth of the sector and attract suitable inward investment
- To support initiatives to address the digital skills shortage
- To promote the value of IT in supporting a cultural transformation of Government and provide a sounding board for Government’s Technical Services Division to help identify, prioritise and promote new e-services for the business and the citizen and support the digital strategy
