The development of creative industries in the Nordic countries and Baltic States is hindered by underfunding of the sector and the lack of business experience among creative people.

The Nordic-Baltic Creative Industries Financing Forum 'Is Investment in the Creative Industries Gambling?' focuses on improving product development, innovation and export capacity in creative companies by finding financing opportunities. The forum lasts half a day and offers discussions with investors, venture capitalists, companies and policymakers.

It's goal is to raise awareness of the wishes and problems of the various parties in the creative industries sector. Financing opportunities and the investors' expectations of the quality of business projects will also be introduces. The role of private investments in creative enterprise and the preconditions for the growth of creative companies in the Nordic-Baltic region and all over the world will also be worded in discussions.
