Abstract
This chapter examines the interplay between cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and regional development in the Danube Region. Employing a regional perspective, it identifies policy intervention areas to enhance the conditions for CCIs, presenting a set of non-geographically specific measures derived from best practices. These measures, informed by research conducted during the RESTART_4Danube project, funded by the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme, offer a foundation for regional authorities seeking to promote economic growth within the cultural and creative sectors. The paper acknowledges potential limitations, including generalisation and implementation challenges, and underscores their importance. It calls for future academic exploration in areas such as impact assessment, comparative studies, sustainability, digital transformation, cultural heritage preservation, and more to advance our comprehension of cultural and creative industries’ role in regional development, not only within the Danube Region but also in broader contexts.
