Telecoms risks missing out on the economic benefits and innovation potential that diversity can bring - and together we can empower and enable more people to consider a career in connectivity. Our community highlights opportunities and relevant projects, events of interest and seeks to drive meaningful change for our industry.

We were formed in early 2024 by the Department for Science Innovation and Technology's Future Telecoms Tech Policy Team, Ofcom Together in Tech, UKTIN and techUK.

The group will share regular updates from partners, stakeholders and industry voices and organise events and meet-ups that are open to all.
