The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has dedicated resource within its Creative Industries team in the UK and in key markets across the world, focused on developing and delivering foreign direct investment and promoting the UK creative sector and the investment opportunity for international businesses. DBT works closely with the Office for Investment on major investment projects linked to the creative industries.

We provide support through the British Film Commission to grow high-end TV inward investment. We promote the UK as a destination for foreign direct investment through targeted inward delegations to the UK and engagement with potential investors at key international creative industries trade shows working closely with external partners, such as the British Film Commission, the UK Interactive Entertainment Association and Innovate UK.

DBT will support the upcoming Investment Summit to promote the opportunity represented by our world class creative sector.
