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.
