Representatives from 70 local enterprises recently attended a lecture on the development of creative and copyright industry, the first project launched after the establishment of the Shanghai Copyright Center.

The center aims to set up and improve the city’s creative industry chain, as a platform to solve problems in relevant policies on the development of science and technology.

Shanghai has altogether 75 creative industry parks. Local creative industries will focus on five areas during the Eleventh Five-Year period—designs for R&D projects, architecture, culture & media, consultation, and fashion & consumption, Lou Rongmin, deputy director of Shanghai Copyright Bureau said at the lecture. He also said the development would be closely associated with copyright industry.

The city government has supported the creative industry in clustering together in a city precinct and the copyright center will create even better conditions for the development of the industry.
