What happens when creative industries, games, and tech stop operating in silos? Something pretty special. Off the back of the Games Tech Bootcamp with Baltic Ventures, the Create Growth Programme from DCMS (delivered via GM Business Growth Hub), and my ongoing work with Creative UK, one thing has become very clear: The challenges faced by creative and tech businesses aren’t so different. And neither are the opportunities. We’re all talking about growth, investment, visibility, sustainability. We’re all trying to build things that matter. And the principles we use in startup land - validation, market-testing, value-based positioning - can be powerful when applied to games, creative IP, and new immersive ventures. The real magic happens when we borrow best practice across sectors, not just within them. Which is why I’m really looking forward to joining a panel on cross sector collaboration at the RE:FORMAT Games & Tech Industry Summit October 29th | Liverpool We’ll be diving into: - What makes cross-sector partnerships valuable in practice? - How do we get better at recognising and celebrating different strengths? - Where are the most exciting spaces for collaboration over the next few years? If you’re working in games, tech, immersive, or creative business - or want to understand what the future of collaboration looks like - come along. It’ll be thoughtful, honest, and funny if I'm sat next to Dr. David Tully. I’ve got a discount code for my network - just drop me a message and I’ll send it over.

2wI should clarify it's FORMAT Group and the Liverpool Game-Dev Network in partnership delivering this event but I'm scared of angering the Linkedin Gods by editing the post!
