It will be delivered locally by sector experts Angels@Essex, Creative UK, Screen South and Wired Sussex.
Successful applicants have the chance to join a curated cohort of their peers over a nine-month programme, giving them the opportunity to champion and learn from each other. The programme is free to the businesses that take part, with an estimated value of £10,000.
