Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s creative and digital businesses are set to receive a £425,000 boost to drive innovation and growth. This government investment will extend support for local businesses through the Create Growth N2 (CGN2) initiative, which will run through 2025/26.
CGN2 helps businesses access expert guidance, investment readiness tools, and tailored programmes focused on growth and innovation. The programme offers fully funded workshops and immersive technology support, helping businesses refine their strategies and expand their capabilities. A key part of the initiative is a continuously updated platform featuring local business events and opportunities.
Following a successful year, in which 89 businesses received support and £649,000 in additional funding was secured, CGN2 is set to build on its momentum. The funding continues to demonstrate the importance of the creative and digital sectors to the region’s economic future. CGN2 is delivered in partnership with key institutions, including the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University, and Innovate UK, and is backed by local councils and enterprise solutions.
This funding represents a significant step in strengthening the region’s growing creative and digital hub, driving both local innovation and economic prosperity.
