Panel Session
Pavilion G, Passage Hall
In partnership with the Art, Science, and Sport Foundation

Creative entrepreneurs are people who build a creative economy. The most outstanding ones are not only famous worldwide, but are also capable of single-handedly making a significant contribution to the GDP of individual cities and countries. Back in the day, the Beatles’ music spurred growth in the British music industry as a key clog in the global export of creative products and services. J.K. Rowling’s works went beyond book publishing and laid the foundation for a global creative corporation. However, for new superstars to light up the sky of the creative economy, talent must be created and supported from their first steps until they enter the international arena. How can we create an effective system to search for talent? Which educational system will help to grow specialists for creative business? How can we create a comfortable and safe environment not only for success, but for experiments and possible failures? How can we produce the future stars of the creative industries?
