International Creative Services Centre

Will the IFSC some day be replaced by the 'ICSC'? It may not seem as absurb as it first sounds, given forecasts for the UK by NESTA:
NESTA's analysis suggests that between 2009 and 2013 the UK creative industries - which is responsible for films, music, fashion, TV and video games production - will grow on average at 4% - more than double the rate of the rest of the economy. By 2013, the sector is expected to employ 1.3 million people, likely to be more than the financial sector.
Maybe we should start by re-training all the bankers and estate agents first?
