The 2nd Creative Industries Finance Forum

Across Europe, the creative industries are recognised as a high-growth sector with a strong concentration of intellectual property and growth potential. Yet investment structures have not evolved at the same pace: recent research has highlighted that the creative sectors remain without a dedicated investor class, despite being among the most IP-intensive industries on the continent. The 2026 Forum will examine how private investment, financial structures and cross-sector collaboration can better align to close that gap across the European market.

Building on last year's event, which brought together over 20 senior speakers, including Sir Peter Bazalgette, co-chair of the Creative Industries Council, the 2026 Forum will once again bring together key voices across finance, creative industries, policy, innovation and academia.
