The UK’s creative industries are a shining beacon of innovation and growth. From film and television to gaming, fashion, advertising and digital media, this sector is growing at an impressive rate. According to the latest statistics, the UK’s creative industries contribute over £124 billion to the economy annually - more than the automotive and life sciences industries combined. Even more remarkable, they’re growing at a rate faster than the overall economy, with countless new jobs being created every year.

But what does this mean for businesses outside the creative sector? Why should a logistics company, a manufacturer, or a financial services firm pay attention to this burgeoning field?

Hear from Cherie Federico, Director of Aesthetica – a BAFTA-Qualifying Film Festival and internationally distributed magazine and Sue Brandom, York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority, who will speak about driving innovation, economic growth and talent development in our region.
