The Digital Atlantic Working Group consists of private sector leaders and other experts from the four Atlantic continents. Together we are charting current pan-Atlantic digital connections; identifying gaps in digital access and priority risk and resilience challenges; discussing how digital transformation can improve marine spatial planning and maritime information systems in the Atlantic space; and recommending ways governments and private actors can generate more effective pan-Atlantic digital connectivity and expand access for the digitally excluded.
