Digital York- concluding thoughts

• Make Innovation the default – all sectors of the community can contribute

• Agility is an imperative – the local and global knowledge economy has shown that it waits for no one

• Get the Digital “Big Pipe” – high bandwidth is a fundamental piece of the infrastructure for Digital York

• Seize the moment – Digital York, just do it!
