Event details

Are you a regional business, organisation, or individual based in the West Midlands and involved in immersive and creative industries?

“A cluster is a geographic concentration of interconnected businesses and institutions in a specific industry that collaborate, compete, and drive innovation, leading to increased productivity and economic growth.”

CWX will unite and animate activity across Coventry and Warwickshire, support regional businesses, and raise the profile of creative and immersive technologies all with a mission to attract further investment and drive growth across the region.

To launch this initiative, we invite you to our inaugural CWX network meeting at Coventry University on the 4th November. Join us to learn more about the cluster's vision and opportunities for involvement. Hear guest speaker Pim Van Baarsen, CEO of the successful Silverstone Technology Cluster organisation, share his insights on what clusters can mean for regional businesses, and connect with other industry professionals over a free lunch!
