XpoNorth grows the Highlands and Islands creative economy.

XpoNorth is a year around support programme for Highlands and Islands based businesses, which helps grow the region’s creative economy. It delivers an annual conference, sector specialist support, two funded programmes (heritage and digital) and a range of other activities including training and industry introductions. It is Highlands and Islands Enterprise’s mechanism for creative economy sector support, with additional programme specific funding from City-Region Deal (Cumhnant Baile-Roinne) through The Northern Innovation Hub, Museums Galleries Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland and Creative Scotland.

Our 2021 event will return as an interactive digital conference integrating a broader range of immersive experiences. This year’s inaugural online edition attracted over 6,000 participants and we’re looking forward to extending the scope and range of this engaging and exciting delivery model.
