Place matters when it comes to creativity.
Where do creative clusters arise and what can policymakers do to optimise intervention? Join us to hear about the findings of new research that explore three different levels of the UK’s creative industries geography: microclusters, clusters, and corridors.
The research shines a light on the role of microclusters in the creative industries, and explains why creative clusters are good targets for intervention and investment, and a key engine for economic growth in the UK.
The findings are based on the latest available data sets, that uncover new evidence on the UK’s creative clusters, from updated mapping of microclusters to experimental analysis on identifying creative corridors. They build on the Creative PEC’s extensive research in this area, in reports like Creative Radar, which mapped business activity and identified creative clusters.
Attendance is free but registration is essential to ensure you receive the event link.
This event will be vital for policymakers, researchers and creative professionals keen to know what determines the success of a creative cluster.
We will share key findings from the new ‘State of the Nations’ series from the Creative PEC, which will provide regular reporting on the Creative Industries across four themes over the next five years.
Join Dr Josh Siepel, Senior Lecturer (Sussex University) and Creative PEC Research Consortium Partner for R&D, Innovation and Clusters, as he discusses the findings from the research. Introduced by Professor Hasan Bakhshi, Director Creative PEC, and a panel of industry guests, including Syima Aslam MBE, CEO and Artistic Director, Bradford Literature Festival and Dr Jen Ballie, Head of Design Research, V&A Dundee. There will be a Q&A and the opportunity for you to put your questions to the panel. Additional speakers to be announced.
