Kent Connects is a collaborative partnership of public sector organisations across Kent and Medway, including all 12 district and borough councils, Medway Council, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, Kent Police and GOETEC (a consortium of universities and colleges in the Southeast working to advance digital connectivity and technology adoption in education).
Our members pay an annual subscription to be part of Kent Connects, which enables us to deliver joint projects, strategic initiatives and shared learning opportunities. The partnership also hosts specialist groups where partners send representatives to collaborate on key topics such as cyber security, digital transformation and emerging technologies.
Together, we aim to strengthen resilience, embrace innovation and respond to the evolving challenges facing local government and the wider public sector.
