Incubator

In October 2002 Lighthouse launched an Incubator Initiative in partnership with Worth Media www.worthmedia.net . The aim of the Incubator is to give recent graduates from our highly acclaimed Web Solutions and Project Management Programme time, space, resources and mentoring to strengthen their team working and business development skills. The first innovative project developed through the Incubator Initiative has been 'Planet Art', an interactive educational resource focusing on new approaches to exploring portraiture with primary aged school children. Lighthouse would like to make this resource available to Brighton and Hove primary schools in the near future and hopes for national distribution later this year. Future projects will similarly deliver products and services in the areas of arts and learning.


The Incubator Initiative operates within the emerging frameworks for economic growth and regeneration in the South East Region, but also looks to innovation in business models and processes for future creative new media activity. It embraces notions of cross sector partnership, social inclusion and sustainable growth, while adding to the dynamic creative new media hub within Brighton and Hove. In the corning months we look forward to continuing our support for 'Jelly Visions', the first production team, as it moves towards full SME status; to drawing down significant funding which allows this incubator to grow and to identifying markets for products and services developed by current and future teams. The Incubator Initiative has received in-kind support from Lighthouse and Worth Media and has been advised by experts within the arts, education, local government and creative industries sectors.
