<p>Strong transport connections are important to all businesses but particularly so
for creative industries, which rely on bringing together creative talent. Growth of

suppliers and collaborators including freelancers. For these networks to function
effectively, communication links are critical.</p><p>South Yorkshire benefits from

which have benefited from recent investment via the Arts & Humanities Research
Council’s £100m Creative Industries Cluster Programme.</p><p> </p>
