Join us live for the launch of our new State of the Nations report, Foreign Direct Investment in the UK’s Creative Industries
This is the second report from our consortium partners, Newcastle University.
With the goal of the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy Green Paper to capture a greater share of international mobile investment in strategic sectors, high-quality, detailed data on foreign direct investment at the sectoral level is needed to achieve sustainable growth.
Join us with Newcastle University and a panel of guests to explore these new findings and take questions from the online audience.
