Doug Richard, the founder of School for Startups and founding BBC Dragons’ Den panellist will today launch a new business training initiative for the creative industries, called School for Creative Startups.
School for Creative Startups, which has been praised by Creative Industries Minister Ed Vaizey, is focused on helping 100 new creative industries businesses start and grow in London over the next year. The initiative has been developed in partnership with the Westminster City Council.
The creative sector provides 2.3m jobs and contributes to £59.2bn to theUK economy. But whilst 240,000 business in total start up every year in the UK, 280,000 of them fail. The programme will shine a light on the creative sector in the UK as a driver of economic growth and the school will open its doors at Hub Westminster in September.
School for Creative Startups will offer the 100 creative sector entrepreneurs the opportunity to have training, support and workspace for one year. The initiative will launch on 26 July with a high profile event at The Hospital Club supported by Courvoisier. Ed Vaizey MP, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, who will be speaking at the event said:
“The UK’s creative industries are a key part of our economy and we must ensure the sector can grow and create new jobs. Providing new businesses in the creative industries with help and guidance is a key part of ensuring the sector continues to thrive.
“The School for Creative Startups will provide early, all-round support and will help entrepreneurs transform great ideas into successful businesses.”
