The Information and Communication Technologies sector includes telecommunications, computer and related activities. There are some important players located in Norfolk including the government's Office of Government Commerce (OGC).
Knowledge-based, computer-related industries are expected to grow successfully when linked together.
The ICT industry provides a key enabling technology on which many other sectors of the economy now depend. In terms of employment, the ICT industry is currently quite small, accounting for 1.5% of the county working population.
The Norfolk Shaping the Future Telematics/ICT group aims to increase the effective use of ICT by business and citizens in Norfolk to:
- Improve key skills
- Enhance business competitiveness
- Encourage greater investment in research and development
- Grow new companies around the development and use of ICT
