Colchester has been highlighted as a creative hotspot in the Government’s latest ‘Sector Deal’ for the Creative Industries, published at the end of March. This could open a wide variety of opportunities, as the sector deal includes action to support the creative industries with the announcement of a new Creative Development Fund. This £20m fund aims to help creative hot-spots like Colchester to become world-class, unlock growth, encourage investment and create new jobs. Another strand will invest a further £39m in building new research and development partnerships between universities and business via the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.
