Hull Creative Industries Action Plan

ci:p were commissioned by Hull Cityvision’s Arts and Creative Industries Issues Group to bring ‘an external and objective eye’ to the range of discussions, data and strategies already in place with regard to the development of the Creative Industries Sector in Hull, through a review of existing materials, facilitating a working group session to come to a common understanding of the situation, structure material into a draft strategy and action plan for consultation and re-draft the final plan.

The resulting strategy produced in 2002 comprised of a range of recommendations that included networking & promoting the sector, encouraging entrepreneurs & innovation, addressing skills retention, maximising the potential of digital media, increasing business and enterprise development services, focussing on bespoke capital developments & clustering projects, promoting diversity, equality & inclusion, and considering the creation of a creative industries development agency.
