Innovation for Creatives: Funding the big Idea

Part of The Bristol Technogy Festival

Confidence in consumer spending is a fundamental driver behind the creative economy, which relies heavily on the disposable income of households.

As the cost of living crisis intensifies, creative sector businesses will need to explore new cashflow and grant funding options, commercialise innovations and internationalise their offerings.

In this event, we’ll explore how Innovate UK EDGE’s game changing growth support can help you meet these challenges, and provide the inside track on Innovate UK’s new creative sector grant competitions.

Where:

Watershed, Bristol, Cinema 2 - Thu, 13 Oct 2022 10:30
