C&BS Marketplace

Unlocking business opportunities with creative solutions

Welcome to The Culture & Business Marketplace Scotland, where ‘supply’ from culture organisations meets ‘demand’ from business organisations. Here you’ll find a fantastic range of exciting and intelligent creative solutions, designed by arts and heritage organisations to address challenges faced by business organisations.

Agile, innovative, people-centred

Today – in both culture and business – the need to be agile, innovative and people-centred has never been greater. The C&BS Marketplace is inspired by research into business sector needs on the one hand, and a recognition of the valuable skills and resources that the culture sector can provide on the other. This dynamic forum is the result – a place where arts and heritage organisations sell creative solutions shaped by their skills and expertise, and where business organisations buy the products or services which best address their specific needs.

How it works

The Culture & Business Marketplace was launched in 2023 and is currently open to both members and non-members of Culture & Business Scotland. Arts and heritage organisations who want to sell products and services go through an application process before their creative solutions are listed on the Marketplace and business organisations can review all the creative solutions on offer and then commission products or services via Culture & Business Scotland.
