Support for creative industries
Creativity and innovation are part of the essential tools to compete in the 21st century. Creative industries as a sector are already leading economic growth in many countries of the world. They have shown that their upward trajectory resists economic crises, as in the European case where it was one of the few sectors that did not decrease during the 2009 economic crisis.
Nex has supported, through its team of experts, regional studies, development of national policies and plans and the design of export plans for companies in these sectors, including music and film. Visits to markets and trade missions in the Caribbean and Europe have also been supported.
