Creative entrepreneurs, the next generation

I was born and raised in Blackburn, East Lancashire just at the time when personal computers were starting to become the thing to have as a child of the 70’s and 80’s. From these early beginnings of writing computer games with my friends, it embedded in me a great love of digital creativity that has carried into my career as a digital developer and lecturer in digital business.

It’s a topic close to my heart and I’m passionate about enabling the next generation of digital business leaders from Lancashire and the North to keep growing our expanding digital economy.

The signs are good, A study by Oxford Economics forecasts that job creation in the North-West over the next five years looks to outpace other major cities.

The Creative Entrepreneur event is one of our initiatives designed to keep sustaining this growth. Last year, the event attracted over 300 companies, academics and students, delivering panel sessions, masterclasses and installations at our state of the art MediaCity campus to educate and entertain the next generation of entrepreneurs.
