6.17a What is the scale and nature of short term mobility of creative/cultural professionals to international markets? What are the quantitative/qualitative impacts of these activities?

Background

International trade is central to DCMS’s role in boosting economic growth. The Industrial Strategy identifies Creative Industries as one of eight "growth-driving" sectors prioritised for long-term investment and stability. Within this framework, the Creative Industries Sector Plan sets an ambitious target to significantly boost the sector’s already world-leading export value. This research will directly inform the implementation of the Industrial Strategy, ensuring the UK remains a global "creative superpower".
