Creative industries and their operating environment are changing. The elevation of digitality, the challenges of internationalisation and the growing importance of risk-taking are also the present days of creative industries. The new operating environment is a challenge, but above all an opportunity, the discovery, understanding and exploitation of which create new business potential. Creative industries need to jump even more boldly and more self-consciously into a society of smart specialisation. The new Action Plan for Culture and Creative Industries has mentioned strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation and self-employment, developing the expertise and commercialisation of creative industries, developing forms of support to create functional concentrations, and developing design thinking from service design to product design. The project brings a new way of operation based on a strong goal-conscious experimental culture in the region. At the heart of the project are innovation platforms based on demo-generating ‘Nops’, i.e. opportunities for rapid and experimental development, as well as ‘powers’ producing prototypes that develop the business environment. Innovation platforms enable rapid innovation and development at industry interfaces, while at the same time seeking to speed up the path to entrepreneurship and the development of new forms of business.The rationale for these activities is to get enterprises in the creative and other sectors of the region (especially growth industries) to jointly conduct concrete experiments across industries, so that new product or service prototypes are created. Another important objective of the project is to contribute to the collision between the public sector and the business community. To support these, and in addition, the project will increase expertise to broaden the financial base of creative industries. The project will build a development path that will enable actors in the creative industries, regional growth sectors, public sector, development companies and educational institutions to work towards a common, experimental goal. The project’s activities will enable creative operators to carry out rapid innovation and development at industry interfaces. New types of innovative space solutions directly support this activity. The development path of Mongolia will bring the creative industries closer to social and regional development. With the project, the ability of the public sector to identify new opportunities for creative industries will increase as growth companies, creative operators and the public sector develop and intensify their cooperation. This will also make it possible to better identify common interfaces and thus create new business opportunities. The project strengthens provincial cooperation. With the project’s operations, participating companies will be able to produce new competitive service and business products through their increased know-how. Harnessing the latest technology for product and service development opens up the opportunity to reach a new and wider customer base, including internationally. At the same time, the project enables companies and other actors in the region to anticipate their own and business-critical development needs with the help of information on future trends. The project will also increase the financial base of creative industries by linking financial advisory sessions to the development of new products and services. The project also introduces and brings information to the industry about new types of funding opportunities. During the project, Nops will create 100 documented templates for the development of the creative industry. These blanks create at least 50 prototypes that develop the creative business environment. The project will also support the creation of one or two new forms of enterprises, especially cooperatives. The project is carried out in cooperation with regional business companies and Karelia Ammattikorkeakoulu Oy and creative companies in the region. Over 80 companies from over 80 regions have expressed their interest in the rapid and experimental development of creative industries.
