About Business Networks

One way in which the Academy for Innovation & Research works with businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is via the many business networks that operate within the County. Below you can find information on these networks. If you are not already a member than we recommend you sign up and get networking.

All Business Networks

Cornwall Design Forum

The CDF encompasses 3D design, interiors, landscape, architecture and graphic design. It has three main objectives:

  • to set the strategic agenda for design in Cornwall
  • to link designers, the wider business community, and upcoming designers
  • to raise the profile of design through events, marketing and advocacy
