EMEA has created a Data Observatory to collect and show reliable available data on Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) under one dashboard in the CREACT4MED target countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, plus Algeria and Israel, as well as providing a regional perspective.

It covers a broad definition of CCI stretching from gastronomy to performing arts, to gaming and music, to advertising and fashion. It was officially launched at the CREACT4MED Annual Conference 2022 by Dr Yeganeh Forouheshfar, Researcher at EMEA.

The dashboard is composed of two main and one auxiliary pillars:

  • 1st main pillar) CCI contribution to the economy: in this pillar we gather information on the contribution of the underlying sector to economic activity, in terms of value added, job creation, and exports as well as imports.
  • 2nd main pillar) CCI enablers: in this pillar we collect information on factors which can enhance the development of CCI underlying sectors such as policy and legislation, cultural and digital infrastructure as well as information on the status of Intellectual Property (IP) in the target countries.
  • The auxiliary pillar) Sectoral perspective: In this pillar we present information on specific sectors such as film making, media, music industry etc.
