Creative industries trade is at the forefront of the UK Government’s growth priorities and is a core part of the new Creative Industries Sector Plan, new trade strategy and Small Business Strategy. Join us on 10 December for the online launch of the latest report in our State of the Nations series which will explore recent export trends and features of Creative SME Exporters.

Dr Daniel Simandjuntak from Newcastle University and Creative PEC’s Research Director Giorgio Fazio will introduce the findings of the latest report which comes at a time of heightened global trade uncertainty, most recently associated with the stop-start approach to tariffs under the Trump administration. 

A panel of guests including Dan Thomas, Global Media Editor from the Financial Times, and Ameesha Green, Founder and CEO of innovative publishing company The Book Shelf, will dissect the findings and answer all your questions on what’s needed to support creative exporting.

Further panellists to be announced.
