The location Vienna takes an important position for creative industries nationally as well as internationally. Especially classical music, museum and theater, but also architecture, the audiovisual sector and multimedia show internationally networked or dynamic sectors of the Viennese creative industries. The task of the study is to investigate the Viennese creative industries in regard to their potential in regard to the market, innovation and employment. Therefore, the following sectors were defined by the City of Vienna:
– Architecture
– Fine arts
– Graphic design, fashion, arts design, software, multimedia
– Printing press
– Performing arts, popular entertainment
– Museum, libraries, galleries
– Music industry
– Publishing and literature
– Audiovisual sector
Three of these sectors, namely music industry, audiovisual sector, and, graphic design, fashion, arts design, etc. will be analyzed in detail. Therein, a cluster potential analysis will be pursued on the bases of a survey with enterprises. The final analysis will include not only the state of the art of the enterprises, but also contextual fields, like education and research sectors as well as the interrelation with cultural institutions. On the foundation of a final analysis of strengths and shortcomings of the mentioned sectors, data-protected information and recommendations will be also provided not only on the future-demand and opportunities for development, but also actual market deficits and shortcomings will be elaborated.
