The Brighton Fuse project for digital expansion
The Brighton Fuse project began on 1 June 2011 with the aim of expanding the creative, digital and IT sectors in Brighton and Hove.

The project was initiated and developed by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Council for Industry and Higher Education (CIHE) with a £1m grant awarded. It involves collaboration between the city's two universities and Wired Sussex, a membership organisation which works with over 2,000 digital, media and technology companies in the region.
