A digital group has launched a 24-hour support programme.

The FuseBoxAmp project organised by Wired Sussex features knowledge sharing, coaching and mentoring.

Last year the FuseBox opened it doors to the creative, digital and IT community in Brighton and Hove.

Phil Jones, managing director at Wired Sussex in New England House, said the FuseBoxAmp project was inspired by the arts, humanities and digital technology sectors. A pilot learning programme ran over a month in summer 2013 with nine innovators and early stage start-up businesses.

The new programme will begin after Easter .

Mr Jones said; “Building on research findings from the Brighton Fuse Report, we identified the need to support individual innovators and start-up businesses in radical new ways.

“We’ve taken time to reflect and established that a longer programme is now required, one that allows the participants more time to reflect on personal and professional development and more time to really test and iterate their business concepts. “We believe this form of incubation will help innovators gain the confidence, courage and connections required to make starting a business in the CDIT sector a reality in 2014.

“In addition, we’re expanding our expertise network of individuals and organisations that share our vision of a thriving CDIT sector that fuses arts/design and technology to create resilient businesses that will transform communities and disrupt markets.”
