The Creative Industries in the Lake Constance Region

This report contains a wealth of analyses, facts, portraits, figures, comparisons and mappings through which it paints a multi-faceted picture of the border region of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. This is the first time that the regional significance of the creative economies in the Lake Constance region is explored and placed in its European context.  The research was made possible by the International University of Lake Constance (IBH), which financed the project, and by the close cooperation between Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), the CreativeEconomies Research Venture and the HTWG Konstanz – University of Applied Sciences. The Statistical Office of the Canton of Zurich served as a field partner.

Creative Industries Reports

When the first Cultural Industries Report for Switzerland was published in 2003, a new and remarkable awareness was created: For Switzerland’s cultural diversity, the state-funded sector was as important as the commercial sector. In order to better understand the role of the city of Zurich within Switzerland’s cultural diversity, three consecutive Creative Industries Reports (2005, 2008, 2010) were published with a focus on Zurich. They contain facts and figures that shed light on the economic impact of the cultural and creative industries on the greater Zurich area as well as on specific sector characteristics.
