aimhi hosted a representative from the New England creative industries earlier this month. The main topic of discussion was collaborative business opportunities in the creative industry sector between Europe and the United States, with a particular focus on catalytic roles for both Scotland and New England in their respective continents. Beate Becker of the New England Creative Economy Council was particularly intrigued by the apparent complementarities between the two regions and said she was keen to see some concrete business proposals come out of this initial visit.
