Creative Wales, the Welsh Government’s internal agency for promoting and growing the nation’s creative industries, is celebrating its 5th anniversary after what has been an exciting but challenging half-decade for the sector.
Since its inception in 2020, Creative Wales has been proud to support a range international successes across the creative sectors – from supporting home grown games companies that have topped the global streaming chart, to Hollywood blockbusters filmed in Wales using local talent.
The £28.6m of production funding Creative Wales has invested so far is projected to bring an additional £342m of additional spend into the Welsh economy, meaning for every £1 it has invested in the screen sector, Creative Wales has seen nearly £12 invested back in the Welsh economy.
The priority sectors - TV and film, music, games, animation and publishing - form the backbone of this thriving, made in Wales industry, collectively employing over 35,000 talented individuals.
The sector in Wales is continuing to grow its international reputation for excellence.
