Background

The UK’s creative industries have a strong base of globally competitive businesses in every creative sub-sector. DCMS aims to support these businesses by maximising the UK creative industries’ export potential in new and existing markets, as well as remaining a top-tier destination for inward investment. DCMS is interested in research that adds to its knowledge base on the export potential and challenges of creative industries sectors, as well as analysis of businesses’ motivations and international supply chains.
