Report 3: The Hub as Organisational Model in the Creative Economy: Core Learning from the AHRC Creative Economy Hubs programme

This is key to building a coherent innovation strategy that can remain agile to changing innovation landscapes. Core Partnerships Hub partner networks have proven a powerful means of connecting creative talent within and across regions, promoting wider cooperation between previously discrete sectors and universities. Hub networks must, however, be built on relationships with active / live potential: Engineered solutions to fostering regional innovation through a Hub network are to be avoided.

Creative hubs and cultural policies: a comparison between Brazil and the United Kingdom

It expolores how cultural policies in the UK and Brazil have constituted in distinct ways the boundaries between 'culture' and 'innovation'. Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of 'field' , 'habitus' , and 'capital' inform this analysis and its account of the 'cultural-production subfield' and the 'innovationproduction subfield' within the creative economies and cultural policies of the UK and Brazil. The article also draws on Pier Luigi Sacco's cultural history and theory to make an argument about the key factors underpinning recent changes in cultural policy.

It was aimed at two goals: (a) to map the activities of two hubs in the city of São Paulo,in order to identify their impact on the local economies and territories; and (b) to implement creative vouchers along the same guidelines of the Creativeworks London (CWL) project, to foster collaboration between university and creative entrepreneurs, micro and small creative enterprises, aiming at the economic sustainability of Sao Paulo’s creative class. This document reports on the project findings: in its first section, it presents the study on Hubs. Two cases were selected in the project: Impact Hub, a unit in a global network of co-working venues, and Ori, a building that houses a children education Initiative, a small theater and a co-working space. In the second section, it describes results from the voucher scheme. Five vouchers were granted: two for Impact Hub companies, and three for Ori fi rms. The hubs are polar cases, from two different fields of action in Sao Paulo, which is reflected in the voucher recipients
