What are ideas worth?

£56.5 billion1: The value of the creative industries. That’s 8% of the UK economy, with statistically higher growth than other sectors.

£13 billion: the value of creative exports in 2004, 4.3% of all exports.

1.8 million were employed in the industry in 2005 and grew at twice the rate of employment in all other sectors2

Sources: 1Nesta (2006). 2DCMS 2006

Our diverse scholars represent an untapped market worth £5.6 billion.

"Concorde started as an idea. The internet started as an idea. Every business starts with an idea."
