Creative Industries Network

Creative industries employees often find themselves in small micro-businesses. They increasingly need to multi-task and network in order to effectively compete and innovate at a higher level.  It is this trend that unites the Creative Industries Network. Its ambitions are for a connection across the region that will build upon the strengths of the membership and raise profile for the Creative Industries in the East Midlands.

The Network member universities and colleges cover a range of activities over a large geographical area.  The skills and courses feature a range of levels and support across the creative, technical and business support areas.
