Lobbying is also an important activity, recognizing that cultural and creative industries, as powerful drivers of the economy, need to be given more attention in the context of government policy making and strategies.
“The creative and cultural industries are extremely important to the development and growth of each country’s economy, as they contribute to the high added value of other economic sectors. And what is particularly important – they have the potential of job creation”, say the organizers of the conference.
