Description

Funded by the DCMS, the Create Growth Programme (CGP) aims to stimulate investment into the creative industries (CI).

The CGP comprises three complementary strands:
A) business support targeted at the creative industries;
B) finance;
C) investor capacity-building activities.

The successful tenderer will be expected to deliver strand A (business support), and collaborate with Innovate UK on strand B (finance) and strand C (investor capacity building).

As such, the delivery partner should be able to demonstrate extensive experience of delivering business support activities for CIs, a track-record of securing investment funds from local, regional and national investment networks, and experience of working with the investor community to build capacity and confidence to invest in CI businesses.
