Our mission
‍Creative Business Advisory Service is focused on providing a range of services to help unlock the full potential of the Cultural and Creative Sector.

Our goal is to facilitate a mutually beneficial environment where the local, regional and national economy can benefit from the creative industries. This includes innovators, individual businesses or groups of businesses.

Our background
‍Creative Business Network have extensive experience in working with private organizations, public and semi-public authorities, as well as international organizations that are focused on the cultural and creative sector. We are at the forefront in terms of competence and expertise in this field, based on our national and regional work spanning more than 10 years.

We have accumulated an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the cultural and creative economy and the relevant regulatory environment in different countries, particularly in Europe. We are members of the European Creative Business Alliance (ECIA) and work closely with many of its members. At the invitation of The European Commission, we co-chaired the expert group with representatives from all member states and external experts on access to funding. The group produced 10 key policy recommendations addressed to the EU Member States and the EU Institutions. These recommendations serve as a basis for decision-makers to adopt an ambitious European or national agenda to support the cultural and creative industries.

Through our close work with key people in the EU Institutions and our central role in a large number of EU funded projects, we are among the leaders in Europe when it comes to understanding EU policy developments and the evolving regulatory frame work.
