 97\n\nClusters and Innovation in the Creative Industries: Insights from 
 the Creative Industries Radar Survey\n\nAbstract: The creative industrie
 s play an increasingly important role in the UK economy\, but there are 
 numerous areas where there is little robust evidence about creative indu
 stries businesses and the challenges they face. As a means of addressing
  some of these gaps\, our team from the Creative Industries Policy and E
 vidence Centre have launched the Creative Industries Radar programme\, i
 nvolves the combination of scraped web data\, surveys and open data. In 
 this talk I will discuss some of our initial findings from the study\, w
 ith particular reference to our forthcoming report on the role of microc
 lusters in the creative industries. In the report we show that companies
  in microclusters (that is\, smaller geographically concentrated groups 
 of creative industries businesses) have a number of different attributes
  compared to businesses outside of microclusters. This difference is par
 ticularly strong for those companies outside major creative clusters. In
  addition to this\, I will also share some new findings from the study r
 elating to innovation in the creative industries as it relates to these 
 microclusters.\n\nJosh Siepel is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) o
 f Management at the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Su
 ssex. His research focuses on the intersection between entrepreneurship\
 , skills and innovation\, with particular reference to the role of creat
 ive industries and creative skills in the economy. He leads the Clusters
  and Innovation workstrand of the Creative Industries Policy and Evidenc

 ects valued at over £1.37 million. His research focuses on exploring pol
 icy-relevant issues with academic rigour. For instance he was the lead a
 uthor of the 2016 Fusion Effect report for Nesta\, which documented the 
 economic impact of the combination of arts and creative skills in the UK
 . His research has been covered in publications including Forbes\, HR Ma
 gazine and Arts Professional\, and has been cited in parliamentary evide
 nce in the UK and Canada and by the World Economic Forum. He has carried
  out commissioned research for the UK Department of Business Innovation 
 and Skills\, Nesta\, the National Physical Laboratory\, British Venture 
 Capital Association\, and European Commission. His research has been pub
