>> Welcome to Creative Clusters <<
Creative Clusters is an independent policy network examining the growth of
the creative economy. We are interested in initiatives from around the world that are designed to have an impact in both cultural and economic terms.
Creative Clusters believes that creativity is the key factor driving development.
Across the world, enterprises based on individual creativity are booming. Furthermore, knowledge and culture-based activities now play a central role in the activities of all businesses. This is the era of the creative economy.
