Our 'sponsors'

The service is run by Digital Islands, a specialist provider of business support services. Digital Islands won a contract from the Isle of Wight Council and are tasked with providing advice and help to over a 100 small companies on the Islands before July 2023.  The Council secured the money for this from what was left in the UK's allocation of an EU fund called ERDF (European Regional Development Fund), hence why you'll see this series of logos in various places:
