Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problem of developing the creative sector as a driver of economic growth and social change.

Aim. The study is to conduct a detailed analysis of the current challenges and barriers facing creative industries in Russia and compare them with successful strategies implemented in leading countries. The study focuses on issues such as sector fragmentation, lack of institutional support, difficulties monetizing ideas, and brain drain. Based on this analysis, potential solutions are identified, including the development of cluster initiatives, the creation of specialized funds, the modernization of educational programs, and the adaptation of best international practices to Russian conditions.

Results. We systematized data on global creative industry centers, developed a methodology for assessing the contribution of creative industries to economic performance, and identified factors for the successful development of creative clusters in regions.

Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, conclusions are drawn regarding the need to support creative industries in the Russian Federation, based on the identified advantages of implementing the described technologies, the importance of timely infrastructure development, and the integration of new technological solutions. Of particular importance is the impact of tourism, cooperation, and investment attractiveness on urban development.
