What is Blocks?

Blocks is Make More Digital's platform for building intelligent business applications. It's modular, composable technology that lets organisations configure powerful workflows, AI agents, and data pipelines—without the traditional development overhead.

Instead of months of custom development, Blocks lets you assemble pre-built components tailored to your industry. Think of it as enterprise software that adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

The Creative Industries Opportunity

The UK's creative industries are a global success story—from film and television to digital media and design. As an IS-8 priority sector, they're recognised as major drivers of economic growth and cultural influence.

But creative businesses face a paradox: the more successful they become, the harder it is to maintain the quality and agility that made them successful in the first place.
