Copenhagen Creative Forum

Creative Forum is an independent think tank established by the City of Copenhagen in 2008. Creative Forum consists of representatives from different creative sectors in Copenhagen: cultural and creative industries (both established and new companies), artists with strong entrepreneurship and project experience, fiery souls and leaders of different cultural projects, analytical institutes and educational institutes as well as the three mayors: Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard, Mayor of Technical and Environmental Affairs Klaus Bondam and the Mayor of Culture and Leisure Pia Allerslev.

THE TASK
Creative Forum’s main task is to give recommendations to the City of Copenhagen that can strengthen the overall framework conditions for the creative industries. Also Creative Forum is to function as a hearing partner for the City of Copenhagen concerning the conditions for the creative industries. As a sort of cross sectoral trade association Creative Forum collects knowledge and works for improvement of the specific business conditions for the creative industries. A clear identification and overview over the most significant boosters and inhibitors a cross the different creative sectors is a necessary starting point for the concrete recommendations that Creative Forum has developed. In addition to the general view it is important for Creative Forum to adjust specific problems and recommendations in respecting different sizes of companies, well- or newly established companies, material or immaterial products and private or public funded companies. Issues regarding art, culture and event development with no concrete business aspect are not dealt with by Creative Forum.
