Digitala Västerbotten
Region Västerbotten holds the regional development responsibility for Västerbotten. In the Regional Development Strategy for Västerbotten 2020-2030, digitalization and innovation are identified as crucial factors for Västerbotten to become an innovative and smart region and thereby achieve the overarching goals of a gender-equal and cohesive region that is a pioneer in transformation.
Based on the regional development strategy, a Regional Innovation Strategy (RIS) and a Regional Digitalization Strategy (RDS) for Västerbotten 2022-2030 have been developed, describing opportunities, challenges, strengths, and focus areas for digitalization and innovation.
Operationally, regional development collaborates and coordinates digitalization efforts among the 15 municipalities in Västerbotten through a regional strategy council, a collaborative platform, and several networks. They also conduct digitalization projects targeting businesses and civil society. Read more.
