Brighton Fuse

The Brighton Fuse Report

The FuseBox was founded based on the findings of the Brighton Fuse Report. Brighton Fuse starts with the belief that by connecting the arts, humanities and design with digital and ICT, then creativity and innovation can be enhanced.

An initial 2-year research and development project which mapped, measured and assisted Brighton's creative, digital and IT (CDIT) cluster was carried out in 2013. The project supported mutually beneficial connections between higher education, those engaged in the creation of arts and culture and Brighton's digital technology sector.
