According to our locator, the fair in Shian is specific because there products of applied arts and design are more popular. Unlike them, fairs in Peking and Shanghai, Suzhou and Shenzhen, place an accent on multimedia, industrial design, video animation and production, advertising and other creative industries which are used as creative services in other branches.

Creativity – Serbia’s export brand

Since our creative industries primarily developed as author ones, according to Mikic, Asian markets are very important for us when it comes to placement of products and services, especially Chinese and Japanese markets.
