ARC Fund participated in the ‘Business kit for Creative start-ups in IPR, Venture capital and Entrepreneurial skills’ (BCreative) project along with eight partners including design companies, technology transfer organisations, universities, chambers of commerce and public bodies from six European countries. BCreative was a European Commission funded project under the Europe INNOVA Initiative of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).

The main activities of B-Creative focused on overcoming the challenges that businesses in the creative industries (CI) (including advertising, architecture, art and antiques, crafts, design, designer fashion, film/video/photography, music/performing arts, publishing, software and computer games, television and radio) face in achieving their business goals.
