Each participant will benefit from a bespoke programme, crafted to meet their needs.
Participants will need to be able to commit a day a week for the main activities, as well as some one-to-one work where appropriate. The face to face sessions are not compulsory but to maximise the experience we advise participants attend as much as possible: however, you might share out attendance across your senior management team. The one-to-one work is flexible to suit a business owner’s busy schedule, however there is a timetable for the main sessions and networking events.

Creative East is a fantastic programme for the emerging creative sector in the East of England and for the early-stage business ecosystem, especially from an investment perspective. There are so many exciting, young businesses in this region that just need that little bit of support to be ready to face investors for the capital they need to accelerate.
The programme had real breadth and the people who came to speak to us were of such high quality/very professional yet personable and generous. I really appreciated that, so well done for creating such an awesome programme.
Creative industries are really thriving in our region and this programme will support their ambitions for growth and help create the high value jobs we need to retain and attract the top talent.
