From Politics to Capital: How Public Funds Leverage Private Creative Investments

In her keynote speech, Caroline Norbury shows how public-private partnerships create an environment in which the cultural and creative industries are recognised as an economic priority and strengthened in the long term. She outlines the roles, key players and institutions that support such ecosystems – from policy to funding logics to implementation in the market. It also focuses on the research and innovation community as a catalyst: What strategies help to invest in new IP, new talent and creative risk? And how can public funding mobilise private funds in a targeted manner and scale impact?

This keynote will be held in English.
