SPI to Examine Global Incentive Programmes Across Film and Television, Video Games, Live Experience and Performance, and Digital Entertainment

Written By Joshua Dedman

Olsberg•SPI (SPI) is undertaking an international study of public incentive and funding models across the sectors covered by the CoSTAR Foresight Lab: film and television, video games, live experience and performance, and digital entertainment.

The study examines:

  • The mechanisms, scale and design of active international incentive programmes across film and television, video games, live experience and performance, and digital entertainment

  • The extent to which current incentive models accommodate convergent production methods and emerging creative technologies, such as such as virtual production, VFX, XR, immersive and interactive media, AI-related production activity, and creator-economy content models

  • The strengths, trade-offs and gaps emerging from different design approaches, assessed through a purposeful comparative set of international examples

  • The insights relevant for UK-facing policy discussion.

The study is prepared by SPI with the CoSTAR Foresight Lab, of which SPI is a delivery partner. The Foresight Lab researches the adoption, use and impact of new, emergent and convergent technologies in gaming, television, film, performance and digital entertainment.
