The British Council’s Young Creative Entrepreneur (YCE) programme celebrates, supports and connects the most exciting entrepreneurs who are shaping the creative and cultural industries around the world.

We are looking for people who run great fashion and design businesses and recognise that the ability to manage production and get a product to market is just as important as fantastic design skills. We are seeking those who use interesting materials, resources and business models to either develop amazing products themselves or get other people’s products to the marketplace; people who engage with cultural and social issues and people who understand the power of collaboration. This is not an opportunity for designers – we are specifically looking for people who run a fashion and design led business.

Winners will participate in a shared tour of the UK’s fashion and design sector. The programme offers the winners unique access to and insights into the UK fashion and design industry, as well as providing a fantastic opportunity to make a wide range of business contacts that will act as a springboard for future business/collaborations with the UK and internationally. The tour will run from 10 – 17 September 2014 (tbc), during which time London plays host to London Fashion week and London Design week..
