Entrepreneurship models within creative industries
The creative industries have a significant role in the regeneration strategies across the EU. Research into best practice clearly illustrates how effective business incubation can be. However, within the creative industries graduates move towards self-employment in specialist workshops with only 11% of graduate designers progressed into major design companies. The traditional business development incubator environment is not suitable for creatives because of the specialist resources and needs of the industry yet these embryonic companies require generic business support that is delivered in a way that recognises these unique requirements. Design graduates are reluctant to develop business skills and entrepreneurial acumen. Also, traditional areas of business support are not geared up to dealing with creative businesses, there are challenges with persuading talented entrepreneurs of the importance of commercial skills and they do not recognise of the worth of their intellectual property.

Hello,
I would like to introduce myself.
I am the Head of School Libraries at Upper Secondary Education within an association of three neighbouring municipalities in the south of Sweden. The association provides 14 different educational programmes. Some of them have entrepreneurship on the agenda and try to find connections between technology, design, aesthetics,health and food with business skills. The students learn to start small companies selling products or ideas.
Due to the Bologna Process and Lisbon Strategy we need to learn more about this.
