The newly presented Creative Industries Report Switzerland 2016 assumes that over 450,000 people work in the creative economy in Switzerland, half of whom are employed in the creative industries, while the other half pursue a creative profession outside of the creative industries. The concept of creative economies derived in conclusion stands for a new understanding of the creative industries to date, which focuses more strongly on the practices and processes of the players.
