*Creative Economy encompasses a wide range of activities that marry creativity, intellectual property, knowledge, and technology to generate value and drive economic growth. Unlike traditional economies, which are easier to quantify through tangible goods and straightforward services, the creative economy includes industries like art, culture, design, fashion, entertainment, and technology, where value often comes from intangible assets like ideas and innovation.
