| What opportunities are there for the creative sector in the urban district of Amsterdam-Zuidoost. How can the sector exploit its potential for the benefit of the economic and social development of this colourful district? And how can the area's creative and cultural community be promoted as a group to people and organisations outside the district? |

There is enormous cultural vitality in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, ranging from individual artists and fashion designers to cultural institutions and commercial businesses. At the request of the urban district council, LAgroup surveyed the local creative sector and produced a plan for stimulating cultural entrepreneurship and creative activity in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. The plan included three proposals: 1) the promotion of professionalism and networking (creative internships, a mentoring project for creative talents and an open podium), 2) the development of an incubator for creative talent, and 3) an annual 'urban lifestyle festival'. The urban district council adopted the proposals and is currently implementing the plan. The project proposals were presented to a varied group of stakeholders from within the district and elsewhere at a well-attended reception. The event marked the first in a series of meetings being organised by the Zuidoost Creative Coalition.
