Meeting the global challenge

In Seoul, Copenhagen, Singapore and elsewhere, the importance of creative industries to economic growth is being recognised with the emergence of new media cities; areas where creativity is capital. The global market in creative industries is valued at $1.3 trillion.

Creative talent fused with new technology is developing new products and services on a daily basis.
These industries need space to grow.

?Far from being ?economy-lite? our creative sectors should be seen as ?economy central?.? Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP,Secretary of State for Culture,Media & Sport
