The Connected Innovators programme was created to support emerging leaders from within the creative industries who want to take time out to conduct research and development that will enable them to advance their own careers and/or business.
Professionals looking to develop a specific area of creative practice or business using data or data-driven technology, could apply for funding of up to £10,000 to support this work.
Connected Innovators was delivered by Creative Edinburgh, who supported professionals to find the advice, skills, and expertise needed to develop their practice and ideas in order to take their work to the next level.
Potential areas for exploration could include:
New approaches to work for example, problem solving, generating income, collaboration
Developing practice gaining new skills or learning to work with new tools or technologies
Scaling-up Business engaging with new markets, expanding your team, or developing new products or services at scale
Supporting Communities showcasing or facilitating work happening within your community, collective or studio
The programme supported four funded cohorts, with up to eight projects selected per year, and successful applicants receiving facilitated peer support and funding of up to £10,000.
