Intro title, poem Look at the people we are talking about; creative minds, searchers searching for the new, those things that have not been made yet Yes, we’re in an economical crisis, but these are the people who are going to take us out I know it is boring , but let’s start to discuss definitions , so we know what we are talking about
Years of discussion, with different models We will follow the EU definition Difference between ‘cultural industries’ culture based regardless the commercial value and creative industries, that use culture for functional products Mind: these disciplines have always been market oriented, professions that were entrepreneurial
We talk about small and medium enterprises Definitions based on staff headcount, turnover and balance sheet Medium, smal, smaller and smallest! You are professionals; how many percent of the sector consists of the smallest, the micro enterprises? Do I hear a percentage? More; going once, more going twice, more ; sold ! Let’s take a look
More than seventy percent the smallest Therefore we have created an even smaller category, not micro but nano-enterprises Even these nano enterprises (1 – 3 persons) count for more than fifty percent Let’s take a look at the turnover How many percent of the turnover is generated by the micro-enterprises (less than 10 persons) ? 74% of the number of enterprises account for how much of the annual turnover?
74 percent of the number of enterprises account for 27 percent of the turnover
Interesting here is that some thirty percent of the free-lance workers are not registered
Product are abundant; it is impossible to see all theatre shows in the weekend, go to all the exhibitions, etc. Hypercompetitive, if you write a book there are many more authors, or songwriters, of visual artists, or architects Knowledge based activities, have to know ‘what’s going on’
Small Business Act is EU’s flagship Ireland is very well positioned, compared to the EU average Entrepreneurship; entrepreneurial activities, desire to become self-employed, participation in entrepreneurial education, Responsive administration not consistent: positive effect of start-up costs, but high percentage of enforcing costs. Time to start a business (13 days), to register a property, e-government however are average Single market: implementation of EU directives positive Skills and innovation above average; online sales, but cooperation of SMEs with other SMEs is lacking behind Internationalisation: mixed picture; income earned abroad above average, but the share of turnover based on exports lags behind the average
CCI Support on a national level – in order to deliver strong innovation results - needs coordinated effort and coherence on Culture, Economic affairs. CCIs address both cultural and economical factors. CCIs are special; creative minds are not the same! A Game developer needs a different approach than an architect or a musician. National bodies shape the regulatory framework, the administrative burden. Regions play an intermediary role (they can use EU structural Funds, local investment Funds Jessica). At the local level person-to-person support is needed. Entrepreneurial skills: map the current an future skills’ needs, include entrepreneurial training in curricula Local support: three approaches; Creative cities, urban renewal, developing real estate in a certain area Economical approach: support for micro-enterprises, support on financing, accounting, tax matters Socio-cultural approach: support for cultural activities, exhibitions, performances, fairs, etc.
