The EU-backed Digital Enterprise programme has been extended to offer funding in the form of Connectivity Vouchers of between £500 and £1,000 for a wider range of connectivity and broadband projects.

Muz Mumtaz, who heads Digital Enterprise, said: “We wanted to make the Connectivity Vouchers even more accessible to businesses in Harrogate and the Leeds City Region, and by broadening our funding we can get more companies equipped with faster broadband speeds that are essential to compete, whether at a regional, national or global level.
