A fully funded programme of support will be available to South London-based enterprises and third-sector organisations working with creative technologies.
Why take part?
Are you exploring the use of creative and/or digital technologies to enhance your products and services? Perhaps you’re already running a creative tech business and are looking for support and a strong network to support your growth?
Led by London South Bank University’s (LSBU) Immersive Media Hub, this project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. In recognition of this rapidly growing area, this programme is designed to support companies in accelerating their technology/product development, access specialist expertise, and facilities available at LSBU, and network and connect with a cohort of creative and digital technologies companies and academics.
Participants who successfully register for the programme will have access to a range of creative, content production technologies from virtual reality, motion capture, virtual production and high-end editing workstations.
What format will it take?
Based out of London South Bank University’s Immersive Media Hub, participants that successfully register to the programme will have access to a range of creative, content production technologies from virtual reality, motion capture, virtual production and high-end editing workstations.
The programme will offer various support, regardless of whether you/your business is familiar with immersive technology or not.
Group based workshops will be available to those looking to test and explore new technology and gain a better understanding of how creative tech can enhance their productivity, or be used to prototype new products and services.
‘Academic to Business’ collaborations are also available through the programme. This stream of support works by pairing enterprises with academic expertise from LSBU’s school of Arts and Creative Industries. Collaborations provide businesses with more bespoke, 1:2:1 support whereas the workshop support is designed to be more introductory and idea-provoking.
Who can take part?
This programme is open to start-ups, established businesses, social enterprises and charities in the following London boroughs: Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Richmond, Southwark, Sutton, and Wandsworth.
