City of Culture - good for business - great for the city

Over 250 Business people from around the region came together at the Millennium Forum to hear first hand from the Chief Executive of the Culture Company, Shona McCarthy, of the progress to date in relation to building her company and the developments and inroads made in getting a world class arts and culture programme that will make the City Proud. The event was all about reassuring and updating the business community on the progress that has been made and that the promise to "drive an economic renaissance transforming levels of prosperity in our city and wider region", was at the heart of the Culture Programme and was well underway. The Culture company are in the process of bringing their team together - to date they have made three appointments and another 8 individuals will be brought on board over the next few weeks. There was a definite sense that the momentum was gathering. Businesses wanted to know about the Marketing Plans, Tendering opportunities, Planning, Infrastructure proposals and the engagement with Diaspora. An update on progress was given and the Business community were assured that regular communication and updates - with specific information, advice and guidance would be given directly to the private sector on an ongoing basis.
