UK Business Secretary Lord Mandelson will speak at the c&binet forum in October. The event will focus on access to finance for creative industries, new business models for online content, developing talent and securing creative rights.

Lord Mandelson said: “The digital economy has tremendous potential for the creation of new jobs and new growth. We need to ensure that the conditions are in place to enable the knowledge-based and creative industries to thrive as we emerge from the current downturn. We also need to nurture the considerable talent that exists in the UK and ensure the workforce has the skills to compete on a global scale.

“It’s important that the creative industries work together and across other sectors to address the challenges and opportunities they face. C&binet can help to build these links and I look forward to speaking at its main forum.“

The c&binet forum runs from 26 to 28 October at The Grove in Hertfordshire. Business leaders from across the creative and finance industries will debate some of the biggest issues facing the creative sectors. Other key speakers and sessions on the agenda were also announced today.
