The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with 47 cen- tral players in the ecosystem. The analysis work has been done prior to and concurrently with new and ongoing de- velopments among cluster players and has already, prior to publication, been used as an input in the strategic work in the emerging design and creative industries cluster. The analysis is intended for the cluster participants in the emerging design and creative industries cluster in the Re- gion of Southern Denmark, but the model and the analysis results can also be used for cluster development in other clusters at the same or other development stages. The model is also used for analysing the ecosystem of the welfare technology, energy efficiency and offshore clusters in the Region of Southern Denmark1. The analysis has been prepared by REG X (the Danish Cluster Academy) on behalf of the Region of Southern Denmark. 1: For the analysis of the welfare technology ecosystem, visit: http://www.regx.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/regx/filer/REG_X_analyser/OEkosystemet_i_den_velfaerdsteknologiske_klynge.pdf 3 | THE DESIGN AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ECOSYSTEM IN THE REGION OF SOUTHERN DENMARK SUMMARY The Region of Southern Denmark aspires to generate more in companies in other industries as well as create synergy growth and employment in the companies in the region.
