Dear all,

David asked me to circulate details of a keynote speech by our minister,
Tessa Jowell, to the Creative Economy conference in London this week in
which she mentioned the Dynamic Action plan saying:

"But there is a prescription for progress, that was clearly set out in the
Lisbon Strategy. We need to start putting more emphasis on growth and
jobs. And take concrete steps to ensure that Europe is the most attractive
place for businesses to work and invest in.

 We should capitalise on the centuries of knowledge and inspiration that
are tucked away, safely stored in our cultural institutions so that they
can inspire and stimulate creators for the future.

And that's why we have been working with European partners on a new Action
Plan to co-ordinate the digitization of our cultural heritage. This is a
major policy and technological challenge, but it aims to make sure that
this material is preserved digitally and made accessible to the widest
possible audience.

We must also recognise that the innovation, design and enterprise that are
currently the trade marks of our creative industries will also give us the
blue print for revolutionising our more traditional industries" The speech
is online at:

With best wishes,

Kate
