Digidel 2013 is a campaign to increase the share of the population actively using digital services. Almost 80 per cent of the Swedish population regularly uses the Internet. One and a half million Swedes do not.
The campaign is formed by a network of NGOs, libraries, companies and authorities. The objective of this joint effort is that 500 000 individuals presently not using the Internet will get online by the end of 2013. The campaign would also like to improve the benefit from digital services in the daily life of those already online. The aim is that everybody should not only be able to use digital services, but that they will both want and dare to do it.
