CWX are dedicated to supporting Coventry and Warwick’s creative and immersive business community. Join us for a session dedicated to all things finance!

Accessing finance can be particularly challenging for creative and immersive businesses, concerning things like cash flow, perceptions of the creative industries, and competition in a saturated and underfunded market.

This event addresses these challenges head-on. Our panel of experts will provide tailored information on a range of funding options, from the basics of available funding types and their respective pros and cons, to the challenges and opportunities presented by regional initiatives. They will also share industry-focused examples of the scale-up process, offering insights into the realities of growth for creative and immersive businesses. As part of the event, we will signpost to free resources and tools for Coventry and Warwickshire businesses to access.
