Escape Velocity: Growing Salford’s Creative Economy – Report Launch

ResPublica is launching its latest report Escape Velocity: Growing Salford’s Creative Economy. The report makes the case for continued Government and private sector investment in Salford’s digital and creative industries to safeguard and grow the already impressive cluster that has built up around MediaCityUK. The report also highlights Salford as a leading example of the value of cities and regions specialising in areas where they have a competitive advantage – investing in, and supporting those sectors where they can reasonably hope to compete with London and internationally.

The event will be an evening reception featuring remarks from:

• Paul Dennett, City Mayor of Salford
• Cllr Sean Anstee, Leader of Trafford Council
• Phillip Blond, Director of ResPublica
• Cat Lewis, CEO & Executive Producer of Nine Lives Media

Joining us will be a diverse range of senior representatives from across the media, industry and local stakeholders. Spaces will be strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Refreshments will be served from 6pm and remarks from the speakers will begin at 6.30pm with the remaining time until 7.30pm for networking.
