Salford to become ‘Digital City’

Salford will be facing a remodeling as it aims to become one of the world’s most digital cities.

Salford City Council has hired John Corner, CEO of The Landing, as chied digital officer to deliver a strategy to create a digital city.

Corner has had a successful run, in the past three years he has created more than 120 companies and contributed £89 million to the UK digital economy.

This move by Salford City Council is looking to create a much more thriving economy in the city, setting up businesses in the local area.

Some of this plan has already come into action. Salford City Council has recently collaborated with a company called Salford Digital Eagles which promotes the learning of digital skills.
