Scotland's Creative Digital Initiative is a £1m digital support programme for creative and cultural businesses. It's been established to provide support to creative and cultural businesses to help them develop their digital capabilities in response to the limitations imposed by COVID-19. Focused on the needs of SMEs and micro-businesses, it builds on some existing programmes of support as well as providing grants to enable organisations and businesses to invest in skills and resources.
XpoNorth offer a number of events and webinars throughout the year on subjects such as heritage, design and story-telling - there's something for everyone!
For me, the beauty in XpoNorth lies in how it can link across creative sectors and introduce talents and buyers who might never otherwise have engaged.Iain Hamilton, Head of Creative Industries, HIE
