Welcome to DQ Day 2019

The City of London will be officially launching its nationwide campaign (future.now) to boost digital skills among people and businesses in the United Kingdom. In collaboration with the Coalition for Digital Intelligence, this movement was initiated through the Digital Skills Summit in November last year with an aim to empower people and businesses in the UK to thrive in the digital age.

DQ Seminars & Symposia
In collaboration with the World Economic Forum, DQ Institute brings together business, NGOs, civil society and academia to elevate digital intelligence (DQ) as a new form of intelligence. A series of events will provide engagement opportunities by:

  • Conducting seminars and symposia with global thought leaders and luminaries to facilitate interaction between experts in various industries to raise awareness and visibility on DQ
  • Developing ‘white paper’ scalable solutions in real-time for the most vulnerable populations including youth and for the aging population (e.g., ‘silver’ media literacy)
