A practical deep-dive covering toolkits, ecosystem supports, funding landscape, and commercial validation, with real case studys.
Where Creativity Meets Commerce
Whether you're a creative entrepreneur testing your first idea or a student exploring what it means to build a sustainable business, this event is designed to give you practical tools, real-world insight, and the connections to move forward with confidence.
Hosted by WestBIC as part of the EU-funded CreaSus project, the day brings together industry experts, support organisations, and fellow creatives for an afternoon of honest conversation about what it actually takes to turn creative talent into a viable business.
You'll hear from Ainslie Peters on demystifying innovation in the creative sector, get a grounding in commercial validation and market testing, and explore the funding landscape available to early-stage start-ups.
Kasia McEvoy of Ted 1942 will share her own entrepreneurial journey, and representatives will be on hand to outline the supports available to you right now.
Throughout the day, you'll also get hands-on with the CreaSus self-assessment tools and toolkits, developed specifically to help creative businesses identify where they are and where they want to go.
Spaces are limited. Come ready to learn, connect, and leave with something useful.
