BRIC Limited
BRIC grew out of the Bristol Interactive Cluster, a not-for-profit, industry-led membership organisation representing creative digital media, film and TV production companies in and around Bristol, UK. Assisted by the West of England Learning and Skills Council and Business Link West, the cluster raised awareness of broadband and interactive TV content developments through networking events and building relationships with complementary organisations. BRIC is now a consultancy developing broadband content initiatives.
