Take the example of Britain, which has many years of experience with cultural and creative industries. In 1997 the British government made encouraging the development of these industries a government policy. That year production in those industries amounted to ￡ 600 million. By 2001 production had jumped to ￡ 112.5 billion, and these industries provided employment for 1.95 million people.
以推動文化創意產業多年的英國為例，一九九七年英國將創意產業列為國家重要政策，當年其產值為六億英鎊，二○○一年就跳昇為一一二五億英鎊，同時創造了一百九十五萬個就業機會。
