Research

The Creative PEC was founded in 2018 to bridge the worlds of policy, research and industry in the UK’s creative industries. Since then, we have published over 60 in-depth, high-quality research reports, to build a bank of evidence to inform policy to support the growth of the creative sector across a range of fields, from innovation and technology to education and diversity.
