Britain

• Britain is a creative country and our creative industries

are increasingly vital to the UK. Two million people are employed in creative jobs and the sector contributes £60 billion a year – 7.3 per cent – to the British economy. Over the past decade, the creative sector has grown at twice the rate of the economy.

• The vision is of a Britain in ten years’ time where the local economies in our biggest cities are driven by creativity, where the journey mapped out in this plan covers the whole creative process from the grassroots to the global marketplace.

America

• USA The share of U.S. capital spending devoted to information technology has more than tripled since 1960, to 35% from 10%.

• Fields such as biotechnology are booming. The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office hands out 70% more patents--about 170,000 last year--than it did just a decade ago.

• In an economy based on ideas rather than physical capital, the potential for breakaway successes like Yahoo is far greater.10/04/23 5
