Recent studies show that traditional business models need to change within the screen industries. With the introduction of new technology in gaming and production, funding and commissioning models changing, and the future of linear television unclear, screen businesses need to adapt to these changes in order to grow.
This programme is tailored for screen-based companies across film, TV, gaming, immersive, and Createch that are ready to move past stagnation and unlock new opportunities for growth.

If you have a proven track record but find it challenging to scale, or if you’re looking to break away from traditional ways of working, this programme is for you. We welcome applications from companies based in England that are eager to adapt, innovate, and push their businesses to the next level.
Join a cohort of like-minded business leaders and learn how to transform your business model for a rapidly changing industry.
The programme is for companies working in moving image for storytelling, spanning film, television, games, immersive and Createch*. Companies should be based in England, with a proven track record and some success, however in recent times may have encountered difficulties in maximising traction and scale.
