These days the creative industries are welcomed by urban development strategies and economic policies. The creative industries have increasing dynamism and grow three times faster than the economy as a whole, and Germany's creative industries, in terms of economic value added, are fully comparable with its automotive industry. Most entrepreneurs prefer to invest in tangible fields such as real estate, and the creative industries seem unfamiliar. The Berlin Investment Bank is for this reason examining the possibilities of financing the creative industries. The first aim of this study is to select and examine various approaches, and a classification and a precise definition of the creative economy. The second aim is also to examine these approaches and give various definitions to people who are active in creative branches.
