Export policy DCMS and UK Trade & Investment along with other partners in Government, are supporting the work of four industry led export groups who are helping to develop the Government strategy for the export of goods and services from the Creative Industries sector.
The four industry export groups bring together a unique combination of public sector, private sector and trade bodies, to advise and assist in the work of enhancing the export performance of our creative industries:
Membership of these Groups is voluntary.
UK Trade & Investment and the British Council have launched a web-site, www.creativexport.co.uk aimed at providing information for creative businesses wanting to enter into international trade.
