Creative Economy: Driving of Internationalization and Global Development

Abstract

Early 2000th the concept of creative class and creative economy has been developed by Richard Florida and John Howkins. However, "creative economy" is not a well-defined term currently. The United Kingdom (UK) has the largest creative sector of the European Union. In the Creative Economy Report of UNESCO 2013 is stated: "Creative economy it is not a single superhighway, but a multitude of different local trajectories found in cities and regions in developing countries" [5]. Creative clusters open the fastest way for internationalization. Creative clusters development gives us the chance to be included into global supply chains and value creation. Successful startups as the key products of creative clusters will lead to economic growth through the entrepreneurship and SME development in Ukraine and Kharkiv in particular.
