Hawaii's Creative Industries: Update Report 2010
Assisting development of Hawaii’s key creative activities has become an important economic development strategy. Hawaii’s cultural diversity and its Hawaiian host culture are major attractions for millions of visitors and their spending. The uniqueness of Hawaii’s creative, artistic and cultural content helps Hawaii’s creative products compete in worldwide markets. In addition, the creative industries and their workforce are key sources of ideas, content and talent for Hawaii’s emerging technology sector.
In order to capture and track data on the range of activities that can address the broader relationship between creative industries and emerging markets for technology and entertainment, the Research and Economic Analysis Division teamed with the DBEDT Creative Industries Division to review more current definitions of creative industries and revise the scope of the activities in Hawaii’s creative sector, based in larger part on similar work in Massachusetts. This update has resulted in additional industries being added to the creative sector portfolio, such as advertising and marketing, design services, architecture, and engineering/research and development. The creative sector now overlaps some elements of the technology sector.
