What is Create Growth N2?
Funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport and supported by University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University, Innovate UK, Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and NBV Enterprise Solutions, CGN2 delivers two unique programmes, each offering distinct pathways to business success and access to a breadth of specialised business support.
Business support areas
An important objective of CGN2 is to promote and cultivate our vibrant creative and digital sector across Nottinghamshire and demonstrate regionally, nationally and globally what we have to offer.
To help build this success, we are working with business advisors and key stakeholders across the districts to make sure our brilliant CDI businesses have all the information and support required to help meet their dreams, attract investment and network effectively.

Success Stories
“CGN2 gave me new skills in video production that I’ve already applied in a short film, enhancing Tri-Dosha’s brand storytelling and supporting my application for the Women in Innovation Grant.”
“You’re surrounded by bright, motivated people, all working to grow their own businesses, so there’s a real sense of community. I’ve had the chance to network, exchange ideas, and even learn from people with skills in areas I didn’t.“
“What I found great about CGN2 is how broad and flexible and tailored the support is. Personally, CGN2 helped us to push our immersive environments forward, refine our investor-facing materials – like pitch deck videos – and grow through business development opportunities.“
“It was through the CGN2 programme that we gained a deeper understanding of the business landscape, learned how to secure investment in the immersive technology industry, and built valuable business relationships.“
