Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
The UK’s creative industries, worth over £36 billion a year, are a world-renowned success story. Over 80 UK companies participated in the last Technology Innovators Forum in Los Angeles this past February winning over £60 million of contracts. The government is again working in partnership with the creative sector on this second forum, providing an international showcase for our world technology companies and entertainment studios.
Lord Marland said:
Today’s globalised world means that now more than ever before, strong business relationships need to be forged if we in the UK are to not only maintain, but grow our reputation as a world-leading hub for the creative industries.
Lucian Grainge CBE, Chairman & CEO of Universal Music Group and UK Business Ambassador, said:
TIF-IN represents what can be achieved when people who are passionate about creative industries gather in 1 place. Our last forum was a huge success, and no doubt we will have similar results in London, which is riding a wave of confidence since the Olympics.
We are all determined to make sure that the conversations that start today will result in partnerships that last for years.
Tim Davie, CEO of BBC Worldwide said:
We are delighted to join the TIF-IN partnership and to be a part of this forum which will bring together some of the most innovative companies in the creative industries.
