The Highlands & Islands recently linked up with Britain's leading Creative Industries accelerator to assess investment readiness amongst the H&I's most promising creative businesses.

Under the pilot scheme, up to 5 Highlands & Islands based creative companies have the opportunity to benefit from a free investment readiness 'MOT' from sector investors who have 'done it before'. Participating firms can see how they stack up with their international peers in purely commercial terms. Some of the firms will then be invited for a follow-up session, which will involve more detailed mentoring and assistance.

Please contact jsim@aim-hi.org for more information on how to sign up for this exciting pilot.
