摘要:This paper investigates creative and cultural industries in Slovenia with main aim to provide a brief overview of them. The empirical analysis based on available data displayed their importance for national economy not only because they employ more than 7% of the active workforce, but also because of their spill-over effect. Although a comprehensive strategy for development of creative industries in Slovenia has not yet been developed, some partial measures for supporting creative companies have already been implemented. To support further development of creative and cultural industries, an orchestrated effort of different ministries and governmental bodies should be undertaken.
