CONFERENCE IN TALLINN
A call for a paradigm shift in the way creative economy is understood and supported takes place in Tallinn, Estonia.
Register here and be a part of the major international conference „Creative Entrepreneurship for Competitive Economy“ that takes place on 19 – 21 October 2011 in Tallinn, Estonia. An early bird fee valid till 1 July, 2011. We thank you by forwarding the information to other Creative thinkers too!
By now it is familiar to many that the role of creative economy can be a provider of growth to the whole economic sphere and a contributor of added value to a range of agendas. Indeed, multiple nations, regions and cities have invested substantially in creative economy strategies and programmes, with aims that range from creating jobs and attracting investment to building confidence and embedding creativity throughout other sectors – even across society as a whole.
Yet after the crisis, many are calling for a re-think on the role and value of creative economy and for a sharper and more nuanced approach to policy and strategy. This includes a refreshed approach to how we support creative entrepreneurs, a radical reappraisal of the relationship between culture and economy, and a more targeted agenda that calls for cities and regions internationally to develop creative economy strategy on their own terms.
Be part of Tallinn, European Capital of Culture 2011 – as the city takes a lead in creative economy strategy and development.
