Development opportunities related to changes in cultural practices also require a high degree of alertness from creative economy stakeholders. Besides, creative economy must cope with high demand uncertainty. As entrepreneurial creativity, artistic and cultural creativity is an activity based on risk. Creative economy combines two types of entrepreneurs. A first type relies on the shifts that occurred in the cultural policies of cities and in the proximity dynamics of creative clusters.
