The creative industries have the potential to be a significant factor in economic growth in the UK and other countries.
The potential to create jobs and wealth in the digital and creative sectors has been recognised by national governments and local authorities for some time. Creative Industries Urban Regeneration is seen by many local authorities as an effective approach to economic development. Consequently various economic regeneration projects have focused on the creative, cultural and digital sector of the economy. This sector has high-growth businesses within it and the sector as a whole has massive potential for growth, job creation and the generation of wealth.
One of these projects was the Liverpool Creative Growth Initiative, which was designed to help creative and digital businesses in the city to grow.
Here’s a short video featuring some of the 100+ creative businesses that have been supported by this project so far.

The project helped more than 200 creative businesses in Liverpool to grow, create jobs and regenerate the economy of the city of Liverpool.
I’m proud to have been involved in this project as well as also helping similar initiatives in other cities in the UK and overseas in my capacity as a specialist business adviser and trainer.
