3.1e How does innovation of products and processes in the creative industries support the development of new technologies?

Background

Creative industries are a significant engine for the UK’s growth. Supporting growth is central to DCMS’s work on the Creative Industries Sector Plan, as part of the Industrial Strategy. Understanding ‘what works’ to support the sector’s growth, both to the UK economy as a whole and to specific places is a central theme for this policy portfolio.
