Innovation probably, prosperity definitely
AdvertisingArtistic creation and literary interpretation
Priority Sector Report: Creative and Cultural Industrieswww.clusterobservatory.eu
• Core creative functions and manufacturing activities are the most regionally concentrated
• Consumer oriented activities such as retail the least regionally concentrated
Though both have a tendency towards districting... Though in very different forms
Priority Sector Report: Creative and Cultural Industrieswww.clusterobservatory.eu
• Important to distinguish which type of creative industry you are targeting as each sub-sector has different locational needs, each step on the value chain has different needs
• Identify your strengths and build upon them before going for blue sky development
Creating the creative city and district?
• Difficult to plan for resources and infrastructure as each sector has different needs
• Easier to prioritise startups and micro businesses– Business planning support– IP support services– Export advice– Suitable affordable spaces– Venture funding and support
Creating the creative city and district?
• Inter-firm: project working support and intermediation systems/portals; incubators; information and partner directories; trade fairs
• Inter-person: (formal and informal) networking platforms; career development and mentoring programs
• Inter-sector: ice-breaker funds; networking events; incubators; living labs; research initiatives; tech transfer offices
• Develop your spatial strategy: combine a district oriented hotspot focus, with a region-wide linking approach
Proximity might not breed creativity but it builds business cultures
Take brands and identities seriously (and realistically) as strategic tools, but there is not only one route… use multi-channel branding efforts and develop multiple brands
Do not loose sight of celebrating culture or creativity over commercial concerns – these are the base for these industries’ attractiveness, spillovers and competitiveness
