With AHRC and European Regional Development Funding, specialists from the universities will work with industry, cultural organisations, creative practitioners and freelancers, social enterprises, and the public sector, to identify how CDIT firms complement and add value to each other; sharing best practice and encouraging innovative ways of working.
This will help to ensure that the creative and digital economy becomes more resilient and grows faster, whilst helping to create more and better jobs for the region. The creative and digital economy is recognised as having a transformative impact on the region’s broader economy and employment base, catalysing and contributing to the value and importance of innovation.
