IN SITU: Place-based innovation of cultural and creative industries in non urban areas has completed and published the report “Drivers of Innovation of CCIs located in non-urban areas”.
The report contributes background knowledge about innovation drivers for CCIs and about the ways in which CCIs can be drivers of innovation, which will inform further work within Work package (WP2) as well as the IN SITU project. It provides an initial examination of key trends and drivers of innovation in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), as an overall sector and in relation to those located in non-urban areas.
“Drivers of Innovation” aimed to identify the main drivers and the particularities of CCIs innovation in non-urban areas by taking into consideration the diversity of patterns of form, processes, governance, networking capacity, and value chains (from value creation to service delivery), among other characteristics. It also considered how CCIs act as drivers of innovation in economic and non-economic sectors and contribute to societal well-being and sustainability, including the variety of types of spillover effects of the arts, culture and creative industries.
The research was based on a literature review and analysis involving business reports and scientific research; data from the Eurostat database “Structural Business Statistics and Labour Force Survey,” examined through data mining and statistical business data analytics methods; and a compilation of 156 organisational cases and 55 policies/initiative examples contributed by IN SITU partners.
The IN SITU report has been developed within the “Innovation and transformation of CCIs” Work package (WP2), which is led by Mondragon Innovation & Knowledge (MIK), with the involvement and contribution of all project partners, including Culture Action Europe as an outreach partner.
