About Culture Meets Capital
We do not ask the City to do something new.
We ask it to deliver what it has already committed to.
The City of London Corporation's Corporate Plan 2024–2029 sets six strategic outcomes. Culture Meets Capital delivers directly against three of them — and against three further City Corporation strategies.
Corporate Plan — Outcome 1
Diverse, engaged communities
The first institution that brings 2.4 million creative practitioners into genuine financial and civic participation in the life of the City of London.
Corporate Plan — Outcome 2
Dynamic economic growth
Financial stability for a £145.8 billion sector — and a structured pipeline of culturally intelligent talent into City firms.
Corporate Plan — Outcome 4
A vibrant destination
After the Bell and the CMC Annual Forum bring leaders into the Square Mile regularly. The Experience Exchange fills City venues year-round.
Small Business Strategy
Creative industries priority sector
93% of creative businesses have fewer than 10 employees. The City's own strategy identifies them as a priority. We are the delivery vehicle.
Education Strategy 2024–2029
Social mobility and lifelong learning
CMC's programmes deliver measurable social mobility outcomes every year — trackable, auditable and reportable against the Corporation's targets.
Cultural Strategy — in development
The delivery partner being sought
The Corporation is building its Cultural Strategy and identifying delivery partners. Culture Meets Capital is structured to be that partner.
