Interregional cooperation and infrastructure development: the Northern Women's Forum outlined growth trends in creative industries

The creation of sustainable production chains will enable the stable development of creative industries in the Far East and the Arctic. This will create additional opportunities for residents of these regions, including jobs and space for self-fulfillment. This is especially important for women, who account for 70% of employment in the Far East's creative economy. This was told by Elvira Nurgalieva, Deputy Minister for the Development of the Far East and Arctic, at the strategic session "Women of the North: Traditions, Innovations, Creativity" at the Second Northern Women's Forum.

"We're building a networked creative economy, where large-scale project managers work in regional capitals, while jobs are created in remote areas. There are already examples of this, such as the IT cluster in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). A team of core programmers is based in Yakutsk, but some core tasks are handled by young people in remote districts. For example, they might take on some of the interior design work for a video game. This way, budding creators in remote regions gain skills and the opportunity to become involved in high-tech projects and develop more quickly," said Elvira Nurgalieva.
