A primary focus in driving forward Scotland's creative industries is the creation of skills clusters which bring together talented individuals in a creative community.

Key projects

Creative Clyde, Glasgow

Creative Clyde is a flourishing, vibrant community for media, technology and creatively-minded businesses located in Glasgow's regenerated waterfront. Creative Clyde brings together major development sites on both sides of the River Clyde.

On the south bank at Pacific Quay, there's BBC Scotland, STV, Glasgow Science Centre, The Hub and Film City Glasgow, while to the north side sits the SECC, Clyde Auditorium, Scottish Hydro Arena and Riverside Museum. The new masterplan provides a flexible framework for the future and offers a range of investment opportunities for commercial, residential and leisure development.

Film City Glasgow provides office space for media and film industry-related companies. It offers top-quality production and post-production facilities, high definition edit suites and Scotland's first Dolby theatre and is home to a range of talented businesses including Sigma Films, Savalas Sound Studios and Serious Facilities.

The Hub offers flexible, managed workspace and accommodation for up to 50 reative businesses. Glasgow School of Art's highly successful Digital Design Studio and leading independent production company, Shed Media and Raise the Roof are based here.

Dundee, Seabraes Yard

Seabraes Yards is the location of choice for creative industries looking to locate within Dundee Waterfront, taking advantage of the strong creative industry links and talent coming out of the universities located within the city with close proximity to the V&A at Dundee

V&A at Dundee

The V&A at Dundee is an ambitious project to house an international centre of design within a stunning building at the heart of Dundee’s waterfront. The project is being taken forward by Design Dundee Ltd, a partnership between the V & A themselves, the University of Dundee, the University of Abertay, Dundee City Council and Scottish Enterprise.

The main focus of the V & A at Dundee will be to showcase Scottish design talent, providing a UK base for major international touring exhibitions, promoting a wider understanding and application of design. Partners are working collaboratively with the Scottish Government and other stakeholders, as well as the architect Kengo Kuma & Associates, to achieve this vision.
