Development Strategy
for the Creative Economy

Using creative expertise in business creates a wealth of opportunities for innovation, growth and internationalization, which can improve Finland’s competitiveness. Finnish Government has set a goal, where creative enterprises will be involved in more extensive and profitable business operations in the future, both in Finland and in international markets.

In order to achieve this goal, the Ministry of Employment and the Economy has established a two-year Development Strategy for the Creative Economy. The purpose of the project is to develop the operating environment of the creative enterprises, evolve new product development and financing models, and to improve the effective use of creative work and expertise in the labor market. Also the project produces research and visionary information on the creative economy to forecast the occurring changes in the market.

Ideone has for example evaluated Finnish Creative Industries business sectors for the program.
