Moreover, through its three-year Development Plan, it works for the development of the cultural and creative sector of the territory by presenting legislative framework proposals, administrative simplifications, research and studies; it works also for the consolidation of cultural and creative enterprises by encouraging the introduction of “tailor-made” financial, fiscal and incentive tools and for the strengthening of spillover effects and intersectoral impacts, feeding other economic sectors with the creative sector.
