Introduction

At Indielab we are deeply committed to supporting indies across the creative industries. We deliver two types of programmes, both of which are designed to enable your business to grow and succeed:

Growth Accelerators

Whether you are a start-up or a small to medium-sized creative business, our Growth Accelerators are designed to help you fast-track your development and growth and become investment-ready.

Export Labs

Our Export Labs are focused on helping you understand the international opportunities for your business, within your sector, and create workable export strategies.

Each programme is bespoke to you

Our programmes are sector specific across the creative industries, so whether your business is TV, film, games, games tech, arts and culture, or animation, you will receive a business growth experience focused entirely on what you do, populated by the leaders and experts in your sector, and designed to target the levers of growth in your business within the changing sector landscape while also covering the issues relevant for tomorrow. No two programmes are identical, cohorts are purposefully small, and each programme is bespoke and tailored to your vision. These programmes are run nationally and regionally, usually combining both in-person and digital delivery.

Building sustainable creative networks

Once you have completed one of our programmes you are invited to join our incredible alumni, where access to networking events and free legal and finance helpdesks is ongoing. But perhaps more importantly, you will gain access to Indielab Connect, a growing network of inspirational contemporary creative companies to link with and share advice and knowledge.

With our regional programmes, we also ensure that our legacy includes helping to nurture sustainable creative ecosystems that encourage and reach out to other local businesses, as well as keeping the cohorts actively engaged, long after the programme has finished.
