3.3e What are the barriers to Intellectual Property (IP)-backed lending? How could IP lending support the growth of the creative industries and creative economic activity outside of the creative industries?

Background

Supporting creative businesses to grow is a central part of DCMS policy. We know there are a range of challenges as creative enterprises scale up, innovate new products and services, and find new audiences. Creative industries also face highly dynamic and competitive markets, and thus we welcome research on how businesses increase resilience to economic shocks.
