Survey for creative business support organisations - The role of cultural and creative sectors in innovating European industry

Welcome!

Commissioned by the European Commission Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship & SMEs (DG GROW), this short survey aims at informing the ongoing impulse paper on the role of cultural and creative sectors (CCS) in innovating European industry. This report focuses on how CCS contribute to triggering innovation in the wider economy, especially in relation to the most advanced technological/digital trends and the social impact of these technologies.
We value very much your experience as your answers will shape the discussion between the European Commission and CCS stakeholders as part of the regular dialogue starting early 2019 with two workshops. This will form the basis for developing future strategies and actions for the CCS in the framework of the EU industrial policy.

For any enquiry concerning the survey, please contact cdaubeuf@keanet.eu

1. In which CCS sub-sector are you active?

2. How often do you facilitate the meeting between CCS and other industries?

3. With which industry sector have you enabled collaborations with the CCS? (Tick all that apply)

4. Have you facilitated the interaction between CCS and any of the following digital technologies?

Artificial Intelligence
Internet of things
Big data & cloud computing
3D printing
Computer-based modelling or production
Virtual reality
If so in what context, for what application(s)? Please enter an 'other' value for this selection.

5. According to you, what are the main benefits of CCS-industry collaboration? (Tick all that apply)

6. What do you consider to be the barriers to collaborations between CCS and other industries? (Please rank the level of importance for each proposal)
