CREATIVE ECONOMY
The Creative Economy is any type of work, product, content,
and service that has human ingenuity as its main element.
The Minas Gerais Creative Industry Development Agency
conducted a study on the impacts of the creative economy on
the state's economic scenario. The results were 457 thousand
formal jobs and about R$ 788 million in monthly income
from work, which corresponds to about 10% of the total
number of jobs in Minas Gerais.
The creative economy of Minas is made up of more than
63 thousand companies, equivalent to 12% of creative
companies in Brazil, most of which are micro and small.
Although spread across all regions of the state, creative
activities are concentrated in the hubs of Belo Horizonte, Juiz
de Fora, Uberlândia, and Contagem.
It is worth mentioning P7 Criativo, a hub of innovation and
creative economy that aims to promote businesses that have
creativity and innovation as key elements. Its objective is to
create an active community of companies and professionals
in the areas of audiovisual, fashion, software, design,
communication, architecture, games, music, research and
development, art, culture, and gastronomy. P7 acts as a
facilitator, stimulating the emergence of ideas and synergy
between businesses, in addition to connecting investors to
collectives, artists, cultural groups, companies of all sizes,
creators, associations, and other holders of good ideas in
Belo Horizonte.
