Creation of the colombia crea corporation

Thanks to the political advances that have allowed greater institutional coordination in favour of the diversity of cultural and creative expressions, the colombia crea corporation was created in 2019 by the national council of the orange economy. it's is a non-profit civil corporation, with corporate participation of public and private entities. for this reason, it is governed by private law and has an autonomous management of its resources. the corporation's main objective is to promote the development of the value chains - in terms of training, creation, production, distribution, circulation and citizen access - of the various creative sectors linked to the arts, entrepreneurship and culture. for this purpose, colombia crea was designed as a strategic manager who independently contributes to the implementation and sustainability of the policies related to the orange economy. colombia crea will generate intersectoral work tables and spaces for public-private alliances; it will channel the existing instruments for the promotion of the creative sectors, design and operate financing mechanisms, and become a strategic ally for all kinds of entrepreneurs in the creative economy. the creation of the corporation responds to challenges of different kinds that have hindered the consolidation of a policy for the promotion of the creative and cultural economies. on the one hand, there are poor training schemes in the cultural and creative sectors, as well as obstacles related to perceptions that hinder public-private coordination. additionally, there are deep gaps in social access to the cultural offer, as well as marked disparities in the circulation of cultural goods, products, and services between the regions. all of the above is reinforced by deficiencies in the regional coverage of the country's cultural infrastructure. taking the foregoing into account, the colombia crea corporation was assigned the following functions: 1. design, management, administration or execution of projects in various fields of the creative industries. 2. management and administration of projects of natural and legal persons in the cultural, artistic, and social spheres, and of initiatives in science, technology and innovation (sti). 3. coordination and administration in cultural or sti public projects, and in areas connected to the creative and cultural industries. 4. execution of projects in research and experimental development (r&d) through universities or partner institutions. this includes creative work carried out to increase the volume of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of that knowledge to create new applications in the cultural and creative industries;
