Developed in partnership with NESTA, AmbITion Scotland and Sync, this integrated programme will support digital experimentation or new business models, as well as raising the threshold of knowledge and skills within creative organisations to harness the opportunities offered by rapid advances in technology.

The programme will:

  • Support capacity building around skills, infrastructure, and knowledge in adopting digital technologies in cultural and creative businesses
  • Respond to digital technology development needs of organisations that are already 'digital natives'
  • Significantly enhance organisational sustainability through further integration of sophisticated digital technology
  • Invest in organisations that are exploring progressive business models, or at a more advanced stage of developing creative content to enhance their sustainability

More information on the programme can be found on the Creative Scotland website.

Creative Clyde is delivered in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow City Council, Creative Scotland, BBC Scotland, University of Glasgow, Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC), STV, Raise the Roof Productions, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, Film City Glasgow, and Glasgow Science Centre.
