Focus on Creativity: Creative Industries’ New Sources of Investment

17 Jun , 12:00–13:15
Creative Business Forum
Pavilion G, conference hall G1

Creative industries are a complex asset to manage, requiring new approaches to regulation, investment and defining target performance indicators. Despite the challenges of recent years, the national creative industries have demonstrated sustainability as a result of state support. Even so, for the industry to grow further, it is important to attract private investors, some of them from abroad. How can an effective balance be achieved between guaranteed support and market struggle for investment? What is the difference between creative industry investment projects and classical investment projects? How can a creative ecosystem be managed? Will specialization and a focus on specific industries help increase the chances of raising significant players for the domestic and international markets?
