Cultural and Creative Industries

52.    Government has been working closely with the cultural and creative industries to promote their development, with a view to creating an atmosphere that inspires creativity, and expanding the local market as well as exploring outside markets.

53.    I shall inject an additional $400 million into the CreateSmart Initiative to support different sectors of the creative industries.  Efforts will be made to assist them to participate in and organise exhibitions and fairs, provide talented people with training programmes and subsidised overseas exchanges and internships so as to afford them opportunities to realise their potential.
