Over 40 creative West Yorkshire businesses have completed the programme so far, participating in bespoke workshops and benefitting from expert mentorship from leaders in their sector. They joined a celebration of creative investment in Bradford with live investment pitches and expo booths, hosted by the Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin. They were also invited to a national Creative Industries investment summit hosted by Creative UK in London, with an opportunity to showcase and pitch on a national stage.

The Create Growth Programme is funded by the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) and is delivered in partnership with West Yorkshire Combined Authority. It aims to support creative businesses in planning for growth and exploring and securing commercial investment opportunities.
