Supporting university-industry collaborations in the creative sector
Creative Cambridge aims to foster a vibrant community by sharing information and showcasing experts and practitioners who are open to collaboration and conversation.
The city of Cambridge has a worldwide reputation for its contribution to the creative industries, particularly in gaming technology innovations. However, navigating the networks and support services that span universities and local creative networks can be challenging, especially for freelancers, micro-companies, new start-ups, and individual academics or students.
In support of this, the Creative Cambridge event is designed to spark constructive conversations between Cambridge researchers and industry experts in the creative, cultural and heritage sectors. The event features a program of talks, pitches, and networking opportunities, highlighting some of the best work from academics in humanities, social sciences, and technology. It also addresses challenges and identifies opportunities for industry collaboration.
