4.8f How and to what extent are changes to business models and supply and demand offering long- and short-term opportunities and challenges for businesses across the cultural sectors?

Background

DCMS supports the financial resilience of its sectors by providing targeted funding, driving innovation and investment, and developing supportive policies to help businesses and organisations adapt to economic challenges. We seek to better understand the financial health and the risks faced by cultural organisations; the most significant factors that create barriers/risks to financial health; the circumstances where the government can best intervene; and what challenges for DCMS sectors mean for future financial resilience.
