*Description:
The 21st century has seen a great surge of culture content industries. When considering that this will be one of the most competitive and prospering fields of work in the future, we need strategies to develop creative talents not only in arts but also in arts management and marketing. Thus, based on extensive collaboration with the industrial sector, the government must set up a mid- to long-term plan and build infrastructure for the development of creative human resources.
This session will introduce how the U.K. successfully developed creative talents through public-private sector collaboration, and how such creative industries have given birth to the so-called "2nd industrial revolution". Representative companies of Korea and Japan will share their experience in the industry, including AVEX, PMC and SM Entertainment. Speakers will also discuss government measures and future directions for the development of creative cultural talents.
