Larne Borough Council in partnership with Antrim, Carrickfergus, Coleraine, Ballymena, Moyle and Newtownabbey Councils (‘the cluster area') aims to deliver a programme of support up to 30 June 2015 to recruit a Digital Champion to assist local businesses, social enterprises, the public sector and the wider community & voluntary sector to better exploit the digital platform of ultra-fast broadband that exists in the region for the purposes of economic growth and improved citizen services.

The programme aligns with key government strategies to encourage the development of new ICT businesses and new ICT solutions within and between sectors.
