On the occasion of Europe Day, with the support of the EU Delegation and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Faculty of Economics, Finance and Administration (FEFA) organised a conference on the topic of the creative industry, which accounts for seven per cent of the world economy today, generating profits of €3 trillion.
“Economics is the science of scarce resources, but that has today changed and it has gained a new dimension – creativity and innovation, as well as unlimited human resources,” said Goran Pitić.
“The creative industry today generates 7% of the global economy and that’s three times higher than the auto industry,” said Frank Hannigan, coordinator of the EBRD team for the creative industries.
Participants were also addressed by Dušan Kovačević, founder of the EXIT Festival, Aja Jung, director and founder of the Belgrade Dance Festival, and Bojana Maljević, FEFA professor and dramatic artist.
