The third and final roundtable meeting on cultural and creative sectors and industries took place on 6 June. The objective of the discussions was to strengthen the ecosystem of cultural and creative sectors and industries and to enhance communication between the Commission and stakeholders in these sectors.

The discussions centered around five key priorities identified by the participants during the first roundtable:

1. enhancing sustainability for cultural and creative sectors and industries
2. cross-sectoral innovation and cultural and creative ecosystems support
3. centre-periphery, regional, local dimensions of cultural and creative sectors and industries
4. new technologies, artificial intelligence, platforms, fair remuneration, digital skills for cultural and creative sectors and industries
5. outreach and audience development

During the discussions, participants identified instruments and initiatives for each priority, for example a new online repository of good practices on sustainability and greening for cultural and creative sectors and industries.
