Funding Opportunity for Createch Businesses in Stoke & Staffordshire

Exciting Createch Opportunity for Stoke & Staffordshire Businesses

We’re thrilled to share an exciting opportunity for Createch micro businesses, SMEs, and freelancers based in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire.

Friday, 18th July, we’re hosting a last-minute but unmissable event with Cretech Frontiers, a forward-thinking academic group backed by £7.2 million in funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Their mission? To grow and support the Createch Cluster in the West Midlands over the next five years.

Why Attend?

This is a unique chance to:

• Learn about their 5-year programme, which includes two rounds of grant funding each year.

• Explore funding opportunities in areas many local companies are already working in—such as immersive tech, creative AI, digital innovation, interactive media, and more.

• Connect directly with the Cretech Frontiers team and get practical advice on how to get involved.

We know innovation funding has been thin on the ground locally—so it’s brilliant to see something tangible opening up for Stoke & Staffordshire creatives.

Event Details:

• Date: Friday 18th July

• Time: 12pm – 2pm

• Location: Framescape HQ, The Bank, 1 Campbell Place, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 1NH

Get Involved

Check out the flyer and DM me if you'd like to come along. Space is limited and interest is growing quickly.

I’ve done my best to tag as many local creatives as I can on a warm Friday afternoon—but I’m sure I’ve missed a few! Please share this post with others in the local Createch community. Let’s make sure no one misses out on this brilliant opportunity.
