 15 June 2018  Trento, Italy
Event rationale
Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) play an important role in the economic, social and urban development of cities and regions and are also a powerful engine for innovation and competitiveness. Since 2010 the European Commission has supported a new approach to local development focused on strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3).
Such strategies should embrace a broad concept of innovation which goes beyond investment in research or the manufacturing sector to include also design and the broader creative industries. In practice this means that regional and local authorities can now focus on delivering place and partnership-based initiatives which capitalise on the unique cultural and creative assets of a locality.
The conference will deal with the potential such approach provides to deliver new opportunities for a truly inclusive and sustainable development.
