Presentation
Digital 113 est un association Loi 1901, à but non lucratif, qualifiée de “cluster d’entreprises”. Sa mission depuis de nombreuses années est de fédérer, de soutenir et d’accompagner les entreprises de la filière Numérique en Occitanie. Ce réseau compte environ 300 entreprises, et près de 17.000 salariés. Digital 113 mobilise et anime ses membres en leur proposant des animations, des projets, des événements et des services afin de les guider dans leur croissance et leur innovation.
Parmi les axes forts que porte le cluster, le Numérique Responsable trouve une place centrale au travers d'actions déployées depuis plus de 10 ans, au travers notamment de son événement phare : The Green IT Day. En effet, grâce à ses actions de sensibilisation sur le sujet, Digital 113 a été reconnu comme structure emblématique de la thématique en Occitanie, et est référent de l’axe Numérique Responsable dans le cadre du contrat de filière numérique signé en 2023 avec la Région Occitanie, La Mêlée, et NUMEUM, embarquant 13 structures.
Outre ses actions en Occitanie, Digital 113 est actif auprès d’autres acteurs nationaux sur ces sujets : appui au développement du Label Numérique Responsable auprès de France IT, de l’INR et de l’Agence LUCIE, ambassadeur Planet’Tech Care, membre du comité de pilotage du Green Tech Forum.
