'Creative York is one of three technology business clusters that are part of the Science City York initiative. Creative York is a dynamic cluster representing over 90 organisations, together employing over 1000 people in creative technology, arts and heritage applications. Creative York aims to support the economic and cultural prosperity of York by providing specialised business support, networking opportunities, and promoting infrastructure that will enable creative technology enterprises to thrive.'
The cluster organises, on average, 6 networking events a year, and in addition a Symposium on an annual basis which draws speakers from across the UK, and possibly this year further afield, to present on key creative industry issues/projects. In addition we have a team of business promotors who work with all sizes of business to help them develop themselves, new products and work with them on issues of funding, training, offer mentoring and business strategy advice.
