Dundee's first Creative Industries Strategy launched on Tuesday at Dundee Contemporary Arts.

The project includes a series of actions to be undertaken to develop the sector over the next five years.

The event brought together key speakers including the director of Creative Dundee and the chief executive of the Creative Industries Federation.

The three key recommendations are broadening routes into the creative industries from school, college and University; collaborating with other sectors to create greater impacts, and developing innovative ways to share underused city spaces and resources.

Creative Dundee director Gillian Easson said: "The creative industries are critical to Dundee increasingly being recognised as a global creative city, particularly as a Unesco City of Design and as a city bidding to be European Capital of Culture 2023.

Creative Industries Federation chief executive John Kampfner said: "I'm excited to play a part in this striking initiative.

"The Creative Industries are worth £87bn to the British economy and I'm delighted that Dundee's taking a lead in using them to help define its economic, cultural and social future."
