The programme for ‘Creative Cities: Innovation for Urban Challenges’ is now shaping up and applications are rolling in from social and creative enterprises from across the world.

The purpose of the event is to support social and creative entrepreneurs across Europe grow their enterprises: and we’re building two and a half outstanding days of activity.

Want to design an effective social or creative enterprise? Ensure that it is socially and financially profitable? Are you interested in best practice or need support on how to plan or manage the enterprise day to day? Or do you simply want to ensure that the commitment and investment by you, your co-workers and above all, people who use your product or service is long-lasting?

The project team is busy recruiting some of the most successful social entrepreneurs and business advisors in Europe and the United States to address these questions.

The programme will feature masterclasses led by cutting edge, successful entrepreneurs, collaborative sessions centered on specific challenges to the growth of enterprises and ‘live’ contributions from experts both at the event and via the internet.

We are designing the event so that it is positive, practical and, above all, helps you and the people you serve become who they want to be.

Applications to attend the event are available here and updates available via Twitter – @bcreativecities.
