The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport has announced today that Derbyshire County is within the region that will benefit from the Create Growth Programme (CGP). The CGP will provide business support, investor networking activities and the opportunity to apply for loans, grants and co-investment partnerships for creative businesses. Each selected region will from now to April 2025 receive around £1.28 million to deliver a package of targeted business support. The regions will also benefit from an investor capacity building programme and a capital fund of up to £7m to provide finance to businesses and leverage further private investment. http://www.gov.uk/guidance/applying-to-the-create-growth-programme
Heather Wheeler MP says:
“The Creative Industries are one of our fastest growing economic sectors and supporting the creative industries sector will boost local growth, providing more employment opportunities. I would like to encourage anyone locally within this sector to check out the gov.uk website to find out how to make an application.”
