What is Creative Futures?
We deliver impact through various programmes and initiatives including a creative industries network, a start-up incubator, digital skills programmes and a state-of-the-art Esports Centre on campus.
This network exists to raise the recognition, ambition and capabilities of students, staff, start-ups and companies in the digital, creative and tech industries across the West Midlands.
The new cohort
Creative Futures have welcomed their newest cohort to join their celebrated incubator programme.
Reflecting a diverse range of local businesses, the 8th cohort range from graphic and motion designers to playful inventors. Throughout this tailored 6-month programme, business owners and artists are provided with practical group workshops, tailored 1:1 coaching and supported activity with a network of leading professionals (not to mention a year-long membership to working space at 1 Mill Street in Leamington Spa).
Since launching the incubator in September 2020, Creative Futures has since helped 40 businesses, seeing investments of over £2 million, creating hundreds of industry contacts and fostering a stronger regional network.
Meet our 8th cohort pictured above! Larissa Evans (The Crafters Gym), Emma Lord (Lord Design), Julia Mau (Creativa), Laura Sparks (DriRun) and Matt Madden (Matt Madden Visuals).
