Read session reportA serious look at ‘what’s next?’ for UK animation companies as they face the uncertainties of Brexit, including the loss of EU funding, reduced access to international talent and partnerships, coupled with shortages of home-grown graduates. This panel will look at the sustainability of the industry for the next 2-15 years from funding, skills, education and training perspectives, plus we discuss how some businesses are adapting to change – with positive results.
