As nations recognise the need to broaden their economies in order to compete globally, the creative industries have been identified as a significant area for development.

To what extent does this impact upon connecting people and ideas and cultures? How can the flow and exchange of ideas and talent generate a creative force capable of turning technology into innovation? How can research co-operation be encouraged to produce intellectual property that can be translated into products and services that people desire? Where are the new prospects for multilateral collaboration, in transforming challenges into opportunities within knowledge economies?
