Promoting an inclusive digital economy

About

Black and Scot promotes the inclusive representation of black* people in the digital sector.

Our mission is to increase the number of black people in the digital sector and motivate young people to explore a career in the domain.

We are a Black, female led, non-profit organisation – championing the inclusion cause in digital and social economy.

(*includes Black, Mixed, Asian and other ethnics)

Black People in Digital Sector

There is under-representation* of black people in the digital sector in Scotland (and globally).

Access to digital opportunities can remove barriers and give black people better choices in work, business, education, health, and social activities.

(*In 2021, there were nearly 1.7 million people working in the digital economy in the United Kingdom. Out of these, approx. 48,000 were of Black origin and Asian 179,000.)
