This session will take a broader look at how screen production acts as a catalyst for growth across the UK economy, extending well beyond the screen sector itself. It will explore how film and TV drive activity in tourism, gaming, immersive experiences and music, and how cross-sector IP is increasingly moving between screen, games and emerging immersive formats.
The discussion will also consider the role of place-based growth, examining how production activity can reshape local economies beyond traditional studio hubs. The panel will look at how the UK can move from one-off production wins to longer-term economic value, and how it can capture more of the downstream benefits created by its global screen success.
