The UK-India Creative Circle (UKICC) is a new initiative to strengthen collaboration
and commercial ties between the UK and Indian creative sectors.
The UK-India Creative Circle is a not-for-profit.
Supported by the UK Department for Business & Trade, the UKICC will engage with businesses and organisations to unlock joint opportunities across both countries’ creative industries.
The aim of the UKICC is to grow the contributions of the creative sectors of both economies (UK and India), through cross-country trade initiatives, whilst highlighting the immense talents of artists, designers, craftspeople, filmmakers, and creatives from both communities through a series of trade initiatives, events, and missions.
On 2nd June 2025, at the inaugural SXSW London, the UKICC initiative was announced at the UK House of the UK Department for Business & Trade.
We welcome your thoughts on areas you want to highlight for the UK and Indian creative sectors to come together for business and trade opportunities. Tell us about your industry insights, events you believe DBT & UKICC should know about, any creative and cultural projects (current and future) celebrating the UK and India creative sectors.
