The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, has said this year’s Digital City Festival is “about the new world we’re coming into” as he appeared at the official launch of the third iteration of the event series.
This year’s Digital City Festival kicked off in style this morning with a high-profile event held at the offices of HOST in MediaCity, with addresses from Festival Director Martyn Collins and the CEO of IN4 Group Mo Isap, as well as Burnham.
He said: “[2020’s festival] was like the end of the old world. Digital City Festival 2021 was a world in transition. This year’s festival is about the new world we’re coming into. Things have changed, and the cities that prosper in this new world will be the ones that recognise that quickly.”
