Leicester and Leicestershire's dynamic creative and digital sector is a haven for innovation. We foster imaginative expression and cutting-edge technology, and have a vibrant industry driving design, content, and technological solutions. 

It’s no surprise that so many creative and digital businesses choose to be based here. Britain’s growth hotspot is brimming with creativity from the designers in our textile manufacturers to those creating software solutions to power robotics and driverless cars. Three world-class universities at the forefront of technology and design are complemented by schools and colleges that promote the coding and creativity that businesses need.
