The European cultural and creative sector - Strengths and weaknesses Plenty of individual talent but with limited business skills and attracted to the USA (creativity drain) Some of the largest competitive players at global level but they lack same power and leverage than the US-based creative industries on governments A myriad of creative SMEs with strong local presence market access and undercapitalisation problems Importance of the public sector but a resistance in taking stock of international challenges Sustained consumer demand (growth in demand for content) but poor understanding of consumers’ demand in relation to the digital economy Strong IP laws in the EU but poor enforcement in some countries (piracy levels) and subsidising broadband rollout.

Second study : Brief is to esbalish a link between creativity and culture.
