ICT & Creative

Cornwall has been at the forefront of communication since Marconi made the first ever wireless transmission from the Lizard, and in recent years we've seen a real boom in attractive IT and creative businesses. The county is making great strides in the digital economy having the highest take up rate for broadband internet connection in a rural area. Cornwall will also be the first county in the UK to take advantage of Next Generation broadband - ensuring super fast broadband coverage to businesses and making it one of Europe's best connected regions.

The ICT and media related industry in Cornwall has the youth and energy to grow into the UK's silicon beach. Spearheading the drive forwards is the Digital Peninsula Network.
