The first physical meeting of EBN's Creative, Cultural and Digital Industries Special Interest Group (SIG) will be taking place on 28-29 January, following the next series of the EU|BIC Essentials training in Brussels. 

This SIG aims to network established and emerging leaders in our network that have identified concrete practices and tools to tailor their service offering to the needs of creative entrepreneurs and accelerate their growth. 

The first half of the meeting, on the afternoon of 28 January, will focus on defining the Creative SIG's objectives for 2016 and developing an action plan to achieve these. The second half of the meeting, on the morning of 29 January, will be a hands-on "Train the Trainer" workshop on investment readiness for creative entrepreneurs delivered by the ACE Creative consortium. 

EBN members are invited to follow the results of previous conference calls and join the SIG private group online here. Participation in the SIGs is limited to EBN members only.

If you are interested in joining the SIG and this meeting in January, please contact Margaret Mulligan or Cláudia Silva from the EBN staff.
