Narrating Creative Regions: Leveraging Strategic Partnerships, Collaborations, and Networks


Date: 17th January 2025

Time: 12:30-16:00

Location: TS215, The Spark, Solent University

Hosted by: Creative Network South & Southampton Solent University

We invite you to participate in the half-day symposium to explore the pivotal role of strategic partnerships between higher education institutions and creative businesses in driving regional economic growth, fostering talent development, ensuring equitable access to the creative sector, placemaking and enhancing other value indicators.

The symposium will begin with a light working lunch and an opportunity to network. Afterwards, there will be two sessions. In the first session, Dom Jinks (Head of Creative Industries and Economy at the University of Exeter) and Carys Bradley-Roberts & Laura Sinclair (Centre for the Creative Economy at Cardiff University) will present examples of strategic partnerships between academia and creative businesses. Following a coffee break and additional networking, delegates will take part in a workshop focused on generating actionable steps to foster deeper collaboration between regional creative and cultural sectors and universities.

This symposium is made possible through the support of Creative Network South and hosted by Southampton Solent University.


Symposium Objectives:

  • To examine how collaborative efforts between academia and the creative industries can stimulate regional economic development.
  • To discuss innovative strategies for nurturing talent and facilitating entry into the creative sector.
  • To identify best practices for promoting equitable access and participation within the creative industries.

Un, Dau, Tri: Building the Cardiff creative cluster

Cardiff University’s Centre for the Creative Economy was established in 2014 to support the rapid growth being observed in the creative and cultural industries across the city and wider region. Over the last decade, it has developed a suite of research, development and engagement projects focussed on driving industry collaboration and innovation. At the heart of the work of the Centre is a commitment to embedding equitable and sustainable growth that puts the Cardiff Capital Region on the map as an internationally recognised hub for the creative and cultural industries. This presentation will explore how the Centre has driven regional economic growth and fostered new talent development through building strategic partnerships with industry, private, public and education partners and stakeholders.
