Digitisation = Access

The creative sector has a unique capacity to address and satisfy the demands of diversity in the community byproducing digital content that reaches across art forms and fields of knowledge. Opportunities may be found in the wealth of existing cultural content which could be re- released on a multitude of delivery platforms anddistribution channels. This extension of cultural production presents new commercial opportunities for niche and emerging markets—the so called ‘long tail’. In addition, through innovation and digital delivery, the creative sector also has the potential to create new digital products and services for a global audience.Building a Creative Innovation Economy, Cultural Ministers Council February 2008 p.12
