Creative Industries Advisory Board hands over first progress report on the implementation of the creative industries strategy to SC Florian Frauscher
On Tuesday, 19 November 2019, the Creative Industries Advisory Board at the BMDW presented its First Progress Report with recommendations for the implementation of the Creative Industries Strategy and handed it over to Section Head Florian Frauscher.
The report includes a monitoring of the Austrian Creative Industries Strategy drawn up in 2016 and provides an insight into the implementation successes achieved so far at the federal level. An overview shows that implementation activities have been completed or are already underway in two thirds of the measures. In the second part of the report, the Advisory Board describes new recommendations that go beyond the strategy measures. These recommendations take up current topics of the Austrian creative industries and aim to steer them in a modern, innovative and sustainable direction:
- Promotion of an impact-oriented creative industry
- Co-Creation creative company - medium-sized business
- Innovation support for the creative industries with EU funding instruments
- Growth strategies for female-managed creative companies
- New value creation models for the creative industries for the application of new technologies
- Award for Game Development & Gamification
Section head Frauscher emphasised the importance of the creative industries for the entire business location of Austria in terms of employment and turnover. Above all, its innovative power and transformative effect on the traditional economic sectors must be communicated more intensively and must be brought to public attention. The Federal Ministry for Digitization and Business Location supports the strengthening and active further development of the Austrian creative industries and will continue to promote the implementation of the Advisory Board's recommendations.
