Recently, Creative UK had a launch event for the Creative Manifesto in collaboration with Land of Hope and Story at the Thomas Heatherwick studios. The manifesto defines an ask for the creative industries with six key goals to help support, protect and fuel innovation within the sector.
These key goals are:
- Grow the workforce of tomorrow by prioritising creative skills and education.
- Unleash creative freelancers’ potential to build more sustainable careers, by modelling better ways of working.
- Make the UK the best place in the world to build and retain creative talent and their businesses. Return the arts share of National Lottery funds to 25% and create and maintain genuinely competitive fiscal reliefs and incentives.
- Facilitate innovation by increasing investment in research and development funding, and supporting new products, services and IP.
- Enable innovation and provide security for creatives, by protecting Intellectual Property (IP) in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- Strengthen the UK’s standing on the world stage, by supporting trade and exports.
