Attracting investment into Dorset is another key part of the Smart Place programme. With £380,000 of funding from Dorset LEP, the Smart Place Investment Team have created a detailed Investment Plan to attract large-scale private investment into the region.

At the heart of this plan is the vision to build Smart Places that create significant value from within cities, towns and other areas, through a unique, financially successful business model that provides a range of major investment opportunities.

BCP Council and Smart Place are offering major investment opportunities across four programmes:

• Gigabit Speed Fibre
• 5G Solution
• Place-based Data Insight System
• Place-Based Integrated Applications.
