C&binet forum to showcase international creative talent

Valerie | 29 Jul 2009, 07:56

In recognition of the vital importance of creative entrepreneurs to the development of a sustainable and competitive creative economy, the British Council is collaborating with c&binet to celebrate the crème of international creative talent at the forthcoming c&binet forum in October.

Four international Young Creative Entrepreneurs will be selected from the British Council’s YCE Programme to attend the forum and showcase their creative talents. The YCE programme celebrates the skills required by young creative entrepreneurs (aged 25-35), develops new training opportunities, offers new tools for career development, and stimulates opportunities for collaboration and product/project development. Those nominated will have the opportunity to showcase their ideas, network with leading creative business figures and investors and be part of an event that will discuss issues and challenges that will shape the future of the creative economy.

‘Developing Talent’ is a key theme for the c&binet forum, which will look at how we can create opportunity for the next generation of creative entrepreneurs to ensure that the creative industries attract and develop the best talent.
