attractiveness of places and strengthening the unique identity of a specific location. Culture and creativity can be important drivers and enablers of innovation as well as an important source for entrepreneurship. Culture is a key driver for increasing tourism revenue, with cultural tourism being one of the largest and fastest growing tourism segments worldwide. Culture also has an important role to play in promoting social inclusion. </p> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">What are cultural and creative industries?</h2> <p class="ecl-u-type-paragraph-m">Cultural & Creative Industries include a diverse collection of business disciplines that have both a cultural and economic impact, in particular:</p> <ul class="ecl-unordered-list ecl-u-mb-m"> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">arts and architecture,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">web and graphic design,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">publishing,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">gaming and multimedia,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">music and entertainment industry,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">artistic crafts and fashion design,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">film,</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">advertising and public relations.</li> </ul> <h2 class="ecl-u-type-heading-2">Why invest?</h2> <p class="ecl-u-type-paragraph-m">Culture and creativity are not limited to artistic value. Through the use of EU Structural and Investment Funds, their development potential can be harnessed for creating jobs and growth across Europe's regions and cities. For example:</p> <ul class="ecl-unordered-list ecl-u-mb-m"> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">The development of creative industry clusters, creative incubators and the digitisation of cultural content have proven particularly beneficial in driving economic transformation towards knowledge-based economy and services.</li> <li class="ecl-unordered-list__item">Cultural investments have, through the design of new products and services, given a new lease of life to otherwise declining industries.
