Edinburgh has been a hub to the creative industries for many years, thanks to its rich heritage, festivals, innovation, and ever-growing digital sector. Every year Scotland’s creative industries contribute more than £5 billion to the Scottish economy and Edinburgh plays a large part in this.
The city is home to artists, designers, musicians, and creators who enjoy experimenting and working together to shape our lives. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, City of Literature, and a festival city it is home to a wealth of cultural attractions which provides the perfect backdrop and inspiration to art and education institutions to collaborate closely.
