  7. Economic Activities – Cultural and Creative Industries • support may be included in SME or innovation or ICT related measures • “e-culture” (digital content related to culture and digital heritage) added to the investment priority concerning the strengthening of ICT applications • investments in culture that do not have sustainable economic impacts should not be a priority for the ERDF • maintaining and renovating the cultural heritage can have a positive impact on crafts and traditional sectors of industry as well as tourism Any financial intervention in these fields should be grounded on wider developmental strategies with a sound economic rationale.

  8. ERDF will pay attention to: • using Cultural and Creative Industries to design and implement targeted implementation strategies focused on the delivery of the Europe 2020 objectives • mapping regional assets, taking into account the level of development of Cultural and Creative Industries in the region concerned • involving by an inclusive approach all cultural, administrative and political actors in the decision making process • adopting strategic and inclusive approaches to investments and the use of financial resources • to synergies need to be developed in the use of the Structural Funds, the Creative Europe Framework Programme, the Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprise and SME (COSME), Horizon 2020 – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, the European Creative Industries Alliance, national and/or regional programmes for the Culture and Creative industries and other possible sources of funding • focus interventions on support to the new cultural sectors closely linked to innovation and creativity.
