The Creative Industries KTN promotes innovation in the creative industries by:
1) Providing knowledge on technology and market trends;
2) Promoting partnerships between businesses and academia through collaborative projects; and
3) Signposting support and collaborating with other agencies.
Current themes include convergence across sectors through transmedia, the Internet of Things, and cross-sector collaboration, as well as experience-led innovation, finance/investment, and new business models. The KTN aims to accelerate innovation by bridging the physical and digital worlds.

TV Documentary: Hugh’s Fish Fight
“We could have done [it] as a television show alone but extending the
campaign across platforms increased the public impact. Part of the story
was the 700,000 people who signed the petition online.”

Creative businesses do not develop technology in a
vacuum
Interdisciplinary
Collaboration between people with different skillsets, from
different professional cultures is key

Music Digital accounted for 55.5% of UK trade revenues in Q1 2012 – overtaking physical for first time growth in digital music revenues boosted the record industry ’ s overall market value by 2.7% to £155.8m, offsetting a decline in revenues from physical products. Paid-for subscription services also performed strongly with income almost doubling (93%) year-on-year to just under £9 million as users migrate to premium, paid-for tiers Games The UK video games industry contributes some £1 billion to national GDP each year. 216 games companies started up in the UK market between 2008 and 2011 The UK games sector is projected to grow by 7.5 per cent between 2009 and 2012 80 per cent of the new UK games businesses that have been set up over the last two years are developing games for online digital distribution Advertising Internet advertising revenues for the first quarter of 2012 set a new record for the reporting period at $8.4 billion, according to the latest IAB Internet Advertising Report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau “ a 15 percent increase over the comparable period in 2011 is a solid affirmation the internet is delivering on its promise to attract consumers and the advertising dollars that follow. ” Television UK TV is now 100% Digital The estimated total revenue from the international sale of UK TV programmes and associated activities was £1.42 billion in 2010, a 13 per cent increase on 2009. revenue from the a new generation of online video services, fuelled by faster broadband ISP connectivity, to quadruple by 2020 new services (e.g. Netflix , YouView etc.) will begin to eat away at the established market.
The TSB The Role of the KTN Challenge of maintaining the profile of the Creative Industries Wider Design Agenda The presentation
provide a trusted source of knowledge on technology and market developments and provide the mechanisms for creative businesses to explore potential impacts and opportunities; promote partnerships between business and academia through collaborative projects and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships; signpost creative businesses to other support-agencies within the broader innovation landscape and, where needed, develop the mutual understanding necessary to facilitate successful relationships; promote multidisciplinary cross- fertilisation between the Creative Industries sector and other technology and market application areas supported by the Technology Strategy Board; transfer creative industry know-how to other sectors, in particular to apply design thinking and creative industry solutions to societal and industry challenges.
Innovation in the sector is pervasive and iterative, highly collaborative, project-based and informal. Non-linear and multi-disciplinary, new projects and services are developed out of rapid iteration, open to inputs from unexpected sources Successful innovation is strongly user-focused. Understanding how technology can be adapted and used is critical to the development and exploitation of that technology. Some of the most successful innovations over recent decades have been built around an understanding of and engagement with human behaviour Content is key. Innovation is driven by the desire to create new experiences for users and audiences, often rooted in story or emotion; creative businesses develop technology in pursuit of that end. It is almost impossible to separate content and format from technological development. The culture of a place is important, and how business ideas are generated and engaged with. Successful innovation tends to benefit from a combination of the ‘ street ’ and the ‘ lab ’ – informal networking and facilitated interaction, integrated into more formal modes of operation This has implications for governance as well as facilities: there needs to be a greater level of engagement with small companies at every stage, and an openness to the different ways in which innovation happens among small dynamic creative and digital businesses.
I’ve been in post only for a couple of months; this is my first outing in that position so this is very much a prototype talk. I hope it makes some sense and doesn’t go on for too long. In the dying days of 2011, the UK government apparently reduced its view of the value of the Creative Industries. DCMS published a new statistical estimate of the economic contribution and size of the UK’s Creative Industries for 2009, lowering it from 5.6% of GVA to 2.9% or from £59.1bn to £36.3bn. What I’ve been doing today: creative industries is no longer a particularly helpful term because it is based on a 20 th century model of the activity and the business models in the sectors described. They’re changing radically, dynamically new kinds of skill, knowledge and business are emerging.
