Our new Digital Hub in Folkestone is part of the Hi3 Network partnership, which includes Screen South, Christ Church University, London South Bank University, Creative Folkestone, and Maidstone Studios. Screen South’s Digital Hub has recently secured ERDF funding to provide space, facilities, opportunities, and expertise to support creative innovators in developing ideas and practice.
We offer public events and activities, as well as focused programmes for new Hi3 Network members who will gain access to lab/studio space, digital lounge desks, meeting rooms, and high-end broadband connectivity. The project provides a programme of activities with specialist advice and guidance focusing on creative digital tech. It also provides resources for new talent, freelancers, SMEs, and emerging Creative-Digi-Tech enterprises, supporting innovation and the development of new digital projects.
Alongside innovation and creative project support, Digital Hub and Hi3 Network members can develop new practical applications with access to high-end digital facilities and guidance. The aim is to strengthen the level of Innovative Creative Digital activity locally and across the South East area, as well as widening the offer on a national level for new collaborations. We also have mobile and virtual elements, so that we can provide outreach Creative DigiTech workshops to our creative and cultural partnership network across the South East area. Hi3 Network members may be new to digital creative production or more experienced artists and companies who would benefit from access to bespoke support, including research and innovation support alongside 24/7 access to DigiTech facilities to try out new ideas.
