R&D and Innovation
Introduction
The innovation process involves the research, development, and introduction of new products, services, experiences, production processes and ways of working. The creative industries are among the most dynamic in the UK economy and are collectively highly innovative. However, they haven’t always received the same amount of attention from funders and policy makers as other sectors of the economy.
Creative PEC research on this topic looks at how the government and funders should be investing in research and development (R&D), which is crucial for developing new technologies and encouraging innovation in the creative industries.
