Digital and creative
The North West is home to the UK's largest, most internationally recognised cluster of digital and creative industries outside London. There are over 31,000 digital and creative businesses in the region, employing over 321,000 people. Together they generate around £15.8 billion per year - 16 per cent of the region's output.
The North West has long enjoyed a well-earned reputation for outstanding creativity and artistic innovation. Its creative success has historically been based around music, particularly in Manchester and Liverpool, but today it is increasingly focused on film, digital media, computer games and television-related activities.
The sector has been identified as a priority growth sector within the region and there is a wealth of information and support available to help businesses realise their potential.
