StoryFutures Creative Cluster
StoryFutures works with businesses in the Gateway Cluster to support and fund innovation in next generation storytelling formats and technologies. The 'Gateway Cluster' lies immediately to the west of London.
We exist to fuel innovation and growth in immersive storytelling by sharing cutting-edge research with creative SMEs. We also foster collaborations between world-leading institutions, creative industries and sources of funding.
With joint commissioning partners like the National Gallery, BBC Studios and Heathrow Airport, we aim to innovate in story-form, evolve business models, develop data management processes, enhance audience experiences and help SMEs secure funding for growth.
