In partnership with Surrey County Council, the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) has launched the Creative Corridor Initiative. This project aims to support the region’s creative industries by identifying opportunities, addressing challenges, and attracting investment.
Over the next six months, an Advisory Board will shape a report that outlines actionable steps to grow the creative economy in Surrey and South Central. A series of workshops will bring together industry stakeholders to ensure diverse input is included in the final plan.
Workshops will take place in autumn 2024, with the report launching at UCA Farnham in March 2025. If you’re interested in participating or attending the launch, please email: innovation@uca.ac.uk
