Digital and Creative Industries Cluster takes shape in Liverpool, UK

After a somewhat rocky history (and here) the development of the Baltic Triangle, a large mixed-use area in the down-town part of Liverpool, UK will receive a significant investment towards the vision of creating a cluster for digital, creative and performing arts.  A £5.2 million investment has been announced as a joint effort between The North-West Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and the European Regional Development Fund.

The cluster is named the Baltic Triangle after the community interest company managing the initiative. According to NWDA the cluster will support 60 new businesses by creating 2,790 sq meters of floorspace and is eventually expected to contribute £1 million a year to the Liverpool economy.

We look forward to see and learn more about how Baltic Creative will develop tools and programs that will attract and grow companies in such a wide and dynamic industry.
