Analysis of links between Walloon industry, knowledge-intensive services and creative and cultural services from a (global) value chain perspective

Analysis of links between Walloon industry, knowledge-intensive services and creative and cultural services from a (global) value chain perspective

In this study, IDEA Consult analyzed the extent to which cultural and creative sectors as well as knowledge-intensive service sectors within value chains are linked to industrial sectors in Wallonia. An initial analysis based on regional input-output tables formed the basis for a further elaboration of a number of links in cases. In-depth interviews investigated the interrelations between CCS and knowledge-intensive service actors on the one hand and industrial actors on the other, paying attention to the mutually reinforcing role of cooperation in the innovation process and the strengthening of competitiveness.
