Creative Directions – A Nordic Framework for Supporting the Creative Industries
Worldwide governments and regional authorities have begun to take seriously the idea that cultural and creative activities are crucial areas of economic activity. Industries such as music, film, media, advertising, gaming and design are seen to be increasingly worthy of not just cultural policy but also industrial policy support.
This report deals with the creative industries from an industrial and economic perspective: taking our point of departure in research on industrial competitiveness and transformation (business strategy, institutional and evolutionary economics etc.) in general, and modern research in economic geography in particular. We outline a series of policy recommendations and concrete measures that aim to help the creative industries further develop.
In particular, the report concentrates on how policies implemented and coordinated at a Nordic level have great potential to improve the competitiveness of the creative industries. Policy recommendations are presented that address five distinct but interrelated areas: 1. Knowledge and innovation in the creative industries; 2. Cooperation and collaboration between creative industries firms; 3. Connecting creative industries firms with other industries; 4. Helping Nordic creative industries reach the market; and 5. Encouraging and investing in entrepreneurship.
