6 Concentrated in the US and Europe and some Asian centers. The USA alone is more than 50% of the world’s total. This concentration also applies to other media (movies, TV, music etc.). It’s been the case from Athens to Firenze. Figures refer to the number of domains.

8 Even within the cities, Internet content production is highly concentrated: for example, in New York, in the so-called Silicon Alley, south and east of Central Park.

LOCAL CENTERS OF CREATIVE ECONOMY 1. TALENTED PEOPLE - high-level education - open to immigration 2. FINANCING - public R&D investment - venture capital 3. CULTURE OF CREATIVITY - rich cultural life: from arts to restaurants and sports - enriching community vs. envy
9 Why? Because innovation & creative economy requires a larger supporting system of innovation, which is based on talented people, the availability of risk-taking financing, and a general culture of creativity. It requires a larger enriching community. Cf. Silicon Valley. Cf. Boston area with the cold winter. from "Bouncer’s heart" to a receptive culture conscious selection of the foci of financing (the Finnish R&D investment is less than 1% of the world’s total) arts in the city street life, liberal restaurant life ("forums of falling in love"), encouragement of sports activities; enrichment vs. envy
