Creative digital industries mapping - plans for 2008

The activities planned for 2008 involve closing off the formal aspects of the project while the ongoing research is transitioned into the next stage of the CCI’s mapping work:

Stage 1: Complete and publish updated versions of the report and fact sheets, incorporating 2006 Census data.

Stage 2: Complete and publish the Case Studies and an academic paper on creative activities in the health sector.

Stage 3: Continue and complete streams in the New Economics of the Creative Industries, including understanding creative economic structure and its evolution.

The next stage of this project will focus on commissioned research (such as the flagship Creative Business Intelligence Service) based on the data repository and previously-developed methodologies, while the other elements are spun off to separate projects.

Progress in 2007

2007 was a prolific year for the project, as it wrapped up the initial three-year period of the Linkage project and opened major new paths for the work.
