Why Are The Creative Industries Vital To The Economic Recovery?

In the week that sees the UK’s creative industries celebrated on SXSW’s international stage and recognised within Tech Nation’s Report on UK Tech, we invite you to join us as we discuss how the creative industries are turbocharging innovation across the sector, as a driver for future growth.

Prior to the pandemic, the creative sector was growing at four times the rate of the UK economy as a whole and experienced strong growth across all parts of the UK. With the right measures in place, the UK’s creative industries will be well placed to recover swiftly and strongly and play a central role in the UK’s future economic success.

Our purpose in hosting this webinar is:

Highlight the value and jobs that creative industries can bring to local economies across the country, from major cities to market towns and rural clusters
To brief you on the findings of the first of our CreaTech research with Tech Nation
Set the findings in the context of existing collaboration with creative clusters around the UK
Invite your support for the development of creative industry clusters in your area
Invite your participation in helping to develop our UK CreaTech narrative for the second stage of research
Invite you to nominate companies and case studies for our CreaTech Ones to Watch
