Cultural and creative industries represent one of the most dynamic economic sectors in Europe, employing more than 5 million people in the EU 27, accounting for 2.6% of EU GDP and growing faster than many other sectors of the economy.
Cultural and creative industries support the social and territorial cohesion and foster creativity and innovation, which has direct benefits on the rest of the economy and society as a whole.
The digitization and globalization open up new market opportunities for creative and cultural industries across Europe, especially for small businesses.
However, these businesses are often obstacles in reaching their full potential.
Cultural and creative industries need a proper business environment that meets the specific needs of creative entrepreneurs.
In view of CHORD partners, governments should include the creative sector in regional development plans, allowing part of the decision process and creating a strategic plan to promote it through action steps, not just aid or subsidies isolated:
Including local and regional heritage in tourism development policies, rural and environmental.
