Join Creative Manchester for an afternoon discovering business and research applications of CreaTech with panel talks, lightning pitches and product demos!

CreaTech, as described by the Creative Industries Council (CIC), "is where creativity meets technology. It brings together creative skills and emerging technologies to create new ways of engaging audiences and to inspire business growth and investment."

On 22nd May in the inspiring spaces of No.1 Circle Square, Oxford Road, Creative Manchester are delighted to host our next CreaTech Innovation Showcase.

Our CreaTech Innovation Showcases are the conclusion to our Innovation Labs, which we hold with the The University of Manchester's Business Engagement team every year, and offer the opportunity to celebrate and spread the word about projects that were funded.

The Showcase will take the shape of a half-day event featuring lightning talks from our recently graduated CreaTech Innovation Lab cohort, panel events with speakers from industry and academia and demos of the research projects.

Who is this event for?

The CreaTech Innovation Showcase is aimed at a diverse audience, including creative professionals, tech enthusiasts, industry experts, researchers, business leaders, and the general public. We want to bring together individuals interested in the intersection of creativity and technology, offering opportunities to learn, network, and explore innovative CreaTech projects.
