Creative Finance & Risk

The Creative Industries sector lies at the intersection between business, the arts, and technology. The innovative marriage of technological advances and intellectual capital provides the main source of sustainable wealth creation in this sector. Learning from experimentation and failure are key to achieving success and sustained growth. Many Creative Industries participants are subject to shifting fashion and new technologies pose a constant threat to existing activities introducing a high degree of business uncertainty. At the same time, this inherent dynamism and change is constantly opening new opportunities and threats. As a result, the Creative Industries tend to be viewed by investors as inherently high-risk while potentially offering high rewards.

We are currently undertaking a project to identify the specific risks relating to investing in the Creative Industries and how they can be mitigated. If any creative types (either brave investors or bright entrepreneurs) out there might be interested in participating in this research, please get in touch...
