When I talk about the creative industries, I always say we should not be talking about it merely in terms of its economic value. You get more than that, you get cultural and social value. I respect the emphasis that Cardiff is putting on that because that is a statement of the sort of civil society you want to live in. Cardiff is now a very significant cluster in the creative industries. The involvement of the universities in innovation - the applied research of universities working with SMEs to drive innovation, and the ability of higher education to convene a cluster and get people talking to each other, co-operating with each other, competing in some respects but co-operating in how we push the story forward, this is something that is really new. Cardiff has great potential – this should be only just the beginning.
