production and commercialization of goods and services come
together based on intangible contents of cultural character,
generally protected by copyrights.

Generation of employment (Published by Unesco

Latin America: Employment in cultural and creative industries
Other resources that generate economic,
social and cultural wealth
• There is a growing exhaustion and extinction of natural resources
• Knowledge, an inexhaustible resource, that does not pollute and that is
constantly exploited and capable of generating value and wealth due to its
intangible nature
• Creativity as the engine of economic and social development based on the
generation cultural goods and services
• Innovation as a present and constant factor to strengthen creative economies
• “The creative industries´advantage, unlike the other sectors of the economy,
is that they can create value from nothing” (Charles Leadbeater)
