Background Stimulating innovation, R&D and creativity is a top priority in rebuilding and rebalancing the Northern Ireland economy. This includes promoting a wider innovation agenda incorporating collaborative initiatives between businesses, and between businesses, academia and the public sector. Prosperous economies are characterised by a strong creative sector and the creative industries are recognised across the world for their potential for wealth and job creation. It has become common practice to describe the creative industries as consisting of 13 sectors or by models which group sub-sectors by the way in which commercial value is delivered: for example, providers of creative services or experiences; and producers of creative content or originals. The common theme is that the creative industries are based on individual creativity, skill and talent. They create wealth and jobs through the development of intellectual property and creative content, products, services and experiences. This diverse sector can also stimulate wider innovation across the economy and new ways to add value to other business sectors such as manufacturing and tourism.
