Recital 5 c (new)
(5c) Cultural and creative sectors are one of the most resilient and fastest growing sectors of the European economy, which generate economic and cultural value from intellectual property and individual creativity. However, the intangible nature of their assets limits their access to private financing. Thus, one of the greatest challenges for the sectors is to increase their access to finance, which is essential to invest, scale- up and compete at the international level. Therefore the InvestEU Programme should facilitate access to finance for SMEs and organisations from cultural and creative sectors.
