The document discusses the needs of the creative industries. It finds that the creative industries contribute significantly to the Danish economy, amounting to 1.1% of value added and creating more jobs than other industries. However, the industries face challenges with internationalization, business development, financing, and intellectual property rights to a greater extent than other sectors. There is also a market failure as the wider economy demands creative services but the creative industries do not provide business support services. To strengthen both the creative industries and their collaboration with other businesses, the document argues that developing both the creative and business skills of those working in the industries is needed.
