Authors

Keywords
creative industries, orange economy, growth, education

Summary
The article offers a short overview of both the current state of the Cultural and Creative Industries in Bulgaria and the provision of education in them through the prism of publicly available statistics, and shares the opinion of experts on the topic about their present and future. In general, the data reveal that although it reports a boom in added value for the local economy, especially in the last decade, the sector suffers from the lack of a governmental strategy and even basic interinstitutional coordination, local units support (especially important for projects in cultural tourism), properly educated and prepared personnel, which can only suggest a slowdown in positive trends in the future. The non-governmental sector remains the only one that takes the topic seriously and tries to provoke adequate policies, although not for all sectors under the umbrella of the CCIs.
