- other representatives of local infrastructure organizations from Irkutsk, Omsk, Tyumen and Moscow.

The participants discussed local development strategies, concepts and laws that would solidify the activity plan on the development of the creative industries and creative economy in the regions. Despite differences in approaches, a key point was revealed - that the local creative identification of a region, the identification of a correct audience and the development of personal communication with each of the actors are of great importance for a successful strategy.

The second event continued on the theme of the importance of personality and identification of a region’s creative-industrial specialization. 

The Creative Industries Federation presented the results of Anklav.100 Most Creative Russians, the one hundred top regional creative leaders, who have been shaping the creative industries landscape of the Kaliningrad region. The project was implemented together with the "Crespective" local creative industries development fund.

The list is based on the results of a survey among 200 local market experts in 12 creative industries. More information about the research methodology and results can be found at Anklav.100MCR.com.
