On behalf of the Ministry of Culture, Oslo Economics has evaluated the Cultural Industry Initiative (Kulturnæringssatsingen). The initiative is the main measure in the action plan “From entrepreneur to cultural business”, 2013 (Fra gründer til kulturbedrift). The initiative aims to contribute to increased professionalism, innovation and commercialization within cultural industries. In the evaluation, we consider the implementation of four initiated measures and examine whether the measures contribute to achieve the objectives.
The evaluation shows that the initiative contributes positively to achieving the goals of the program and reduce the challenges in the industry.
