Developed from the Creative Enterprise Toolkit , the Creative Enterprise Programme (CEP) is a three-day capacity-building workshop to support creative entrepreneurs in establishing and growing their businesses.
For nearly ten years, Nesta has been working in partnership with the British Council to deliver the programme. In late 2016, the programme underwent a major refresh to increase compatibility with wider regional and local creative economy agendas, generate longer term impact, and build lasting legacy.
We have since embarked on a global roll out and responded to a variety of challenges in different regions. Since the refresh, Creative Enterprise Programme has taken place in 25 cities in 15 countries, in six languages, to more than 750 creative entrepreneurs.
