<p>The Creative Industries Sector Deal, published in March 2018, announced a £150m
package of measures to encourage growth across the lifecycle of the creative industries,
delivered in partnership between government and industry through the Creative Industries
Council.</p><p>Evaluation measures have been established to monitor progress and assess
the full economic impact when the multiple programmes that make up the Sector Deal
move from delivery to completion.</p><p>Although implementation is still in the early
stages, the Sector Deal is progressing well with the successful commencement of the
main commitments. This includes the launch of the £80m Creative Industries Clusters
Programme, including nine Research and Development partnerships led by universities
across the UK, the £20m Cultural Development Fund supporting five creative clusters,
the £14m Creative Careers Programme raising awareness of careers across the creative
industries, the £4m Creative Scale-Up investment readiness programme aimed at increasing
the investability of scaling creative industries businesses, and £16m for four Audience
of the Future immersive technology demonstrator projects.</p><p>Projects are progressing
to different timescales over the coming 2-3 years. We expect a clearer picture of
impact to emerge as implementation continues and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms
begin to report.</p>
