About this session
This session will move from the strategic vision to the concrete examples, assets, and businesses that can attract capital. It will examine where investors see opportunity across the creative economy, how new technologies and intellectual property are creating new investment models.
Key questions may include: Where are some of the emerging investment opportunities in the creative economy? What makes a creative enterprise investable? What role can family offices, sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, foundations and collectors play in financing culture and creative industries?
