New strategy to boost creative growth and jobs

The European Commission's (EC) new strategy, reflected on the Communication on "Promoting cultural and creative sectors for growth and jobs in the EU", aims to increase the competitiveness and export potential of the cultural and creative sectors, as well as to maximise their spill over benefits for other areas such as ICT and innovation. 

The European Commission is calling for a range of actions to promote the right conditions for the cultural and creative sectors to flourish, involving all actors from the local level up to the regional, national and European levels. These actions focus on skills development, access to finance, promotion of new business models, audience development, access to international markets and improved links to other sectors.
