Developing a responsible environment for creative, inclusive and sustainable innovation.
Between 2018 and 2024, Bristol + Bath Creative R+D offered a suite of support to the region’s businesses, creatives, artists and thinkers to experiment with new and emerging technologies, conduct research, and develop prototype products and experiences to share with the public. Together, we aimed to create a responsible environment for inclusive and sustainable innovation which put people, not technology, first.
