Digital Content is a varied and wide-reaching sector, which includes software, web development, graphic design, and broadcasting. It spans the whole range of companies that use the tools and functions of interactive media to bring new digital content products and services to market. The convergence of delivery platforms and the introduction of broadband technologies mean that there are many issues on the horizon for digital content producers to consider.
We work with the digital content industries on a range of activities aimed at raising competitiveness and productivity, in particular through the industry organization, the Digital Content Forum (DCF). The DCF brings together trade associations and other membership bodies from across the digital content industries. The DCF gathers views across its membership, gives input into the Government policymaking process, develops shared knowledge and promotes innovation and excellence across the sector. Working with BERR, it recently produced "UK Digital Content: Exploiting the Opportunity", which identified core issues for the industry and set out its manifesto for growth.
Full details of the DCF and "Exploiting the Opportunity" can be found on the DCF website
