MyWorld has received £30 million government funding through UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places fund. It is an engine of research, innovation and production that will catalyse growth in the West of England’s vibrant creative technology industry.
Through investment in new accessible research and production facilities across the region, advanced digital skills programmes, and an extensive programme of research and development, MyWorld will be able to uncover engineering challenges, driving forward the future of immersive media.
Alongside targeted research funding, we are running Open Innovation competitions, driven by strategic challenges, which will widen access to R&D funding for businesses and individuals.
The partners include the University of Bristol, University of Bath, BDH, Digital Catapult, Watershed, Aardman, Bristol Old Vic, BT, BBC, Opposable Games, Bath Spa University, University of the West of England (UWE), Esprit Film and Television.
Take a look at the 'As We Grow' film, which describes the programme and gives voice to those across the region.
