Action plan in Sweden

In Sweden during last three years we’ve had an action plan to support the culture and creative industries. This action plan is based on collaboration between the ministry of culture and the ministry of enterprise and it was for the first time in history that these two ministries drew up common project like this. The plan was launched in September in 2009 and put into action in 2010 and it had a number of different action points. One action point was focused on building networks between regions/regional developers in order to reinforce their competencies and their knowledge about the culture and creative industries with aim to improve their support for companies within these industries. Another measure that was taken was support of incubators for the culture and creative industries in order to boost the business development of companies within these industries. Another, the third measure that was taken within the framework of the action plan was to promote entrepreneurship in the area of artistic education. Fourth action point was aimed on development of statistics in order to be able to show the growth within culture and creative industries. This action plan is now in its last year and here in Sweden we’re currently in the phase of waiting for the next step from the side of ministries, we want to know what kind of budget will we get for the continuation of the work we´ve been doing in this area.
