Think of starting a creative business?

Start: Jan 1 1970 - 01:00

Timezone:

Tuesday, 30 June 2009
5-7 pm
Banks Mill Studios

Given the economic downturn, is this a bad time to start a creative or graduate business? Should we all retreat and wait for things to get better? Or if we do decide to go ahead what sort of support is available?

At this event, David James Ross will argue that the current economic situation is more complex than a blanket downturn, and that it offers opportunities as well as threats. The need to support business through the downturn has been recognised by government, so current initiatives for the creative industries and business start up in the East Midlands will be outlined.

This free event is supported by the Ingenuity Programme, a set of activities to help businesses access the wealth of knowledge and resources of universities. Banks Mill Studios is a business incubator in Derby that specialises in support for creative industries businesses. David James Ross, a trainer and mentor working with graduate and creative businesses, will be delivering Make It Happen Fast, a creative business start up programme, with Banks Mill during July 2009.

Although this event is free, places are limited, so please book via Banks Mill Studios – info@banksmill.org.uk or tel. 01332 594170.
