Australia’s $31 billion creative economy is powering ahead, making a real contribution to the nation’s economic performance and flexibility, according to a new report.

It has come into even greater prominence in the UK, for example, as the financial sector has suffered such a huge downturn” says CCI director Professor Stuart Cunningham.
