The Detroit Creative Corridor Center has chosen 17 early- and second-stage companies to participate in a pilot program that will help them flourish in fields such as architecture, film production and graphic design, the center said Monday.
The Creative Ventures Acceleration Program will assist businesses that have grown past the startup phase and want to fill a demand in Detroit's creative economy. The companies were selected based on their potential to fill a demand for a large market, commitment to grow and ability to use the program's resources, said Matthew Clayson, director of the Detroit Creative Corridor Center, a partnership between the College for Creative Studies and Business Leaders for Michigan.
This is the first development program sponsored by the Detroit Creative Corridor Center, a business accelerator to develop Detroit's sector for mass-produced creative arts, from advertising to industrial design to music production.
