Brighton, a coastal city in the south of England, was the perfect venue for UKTI’s Be Creative Think Global event. Like Dubai, Brighton has attracted a multicultural subsect of society and has become a hub for digital agencies – also known as tech-creative start-ups.
Representing the BCB my task was to speak to companies there about international expansion. During the conference I fielded questions about TV Production, Digital Agencies, and Independant Retailers, as well as some general questions about living and working in the UAE.
According to Centre for Cities research, Brighton has the highest number of startups per capita outside of London. Given the desire that Dubai currently has for companies in technology, Brighton was the ideal place for this event.
