Our Digital Future

We believe in a connected digital society, with a quick and free flow of information – connecting people, communities and things to the internet like never before. With the largest Gigabit Networks, and our Internet of Things (IoT) working together, we can bring together incredible ideas, innovations and technologies that help improve society.

DreamLab

Introducing DreamLab – a free, secure app from Vodafone Foundation that harnesses the power of a connected UK. Join the thousands of people speeding up vital COVID-19 and cancer research while they sleep. #FightCOVID19InYourSleep tonight.

Connected Living with Mencap

At Vodafone, we are always looking to be better. Together with Mencap we started the Connected Living project to support people with learning disabilities. We want to use the power of new technology to help people live safer and more independent lives.

Digital Creators Challenge

We want to ignite the next generation’s creativity and digital skills, by connecting them to the careers of the future. Our Digital Creators Challenge is a cross-curricular challenge aimed at students aged 11-14. In teams of up to five, they’re asked to create and design an app to improve the lives of their community. The winning school has the chance to become regional champions, and regional champions then battle it out at Vodafone HQ for up to £6,000 worth of IT equipment.

Digital Parenting

It can be hard to keep up with rapid advances in technology, devices, apps, and the way children might use them. Our Digital Parenting website and magazine helps you keep up to date with the latest topics like fake news, sexting and self-esteem.

We’ve already sent out over seven million copies to schools, police stations and GP surgeries across the UK, now – you can order your free copy

Nurturing the next frontier of innovation

As well as investing in the infrastructure that underpins the UK’s digital economy, we’re also nurturing the next frontier of digital innovation.

Vodafone’s digital degree

Our digital degree apprenticeship helps around 20 students a year gain a BSc in Computer Science with zero tuition fees and a monthly salary. The four-year course at the University of Birmingham covers topics such as AI, cyber security and machine learning.
