The creative cluster Radar Sikhote has opened in the capital of the Primorye Territory, bringing together 13 residents from design, advertising, souvenir production, cinema, photography and media spheres. The new space covers more than 1,000 square meters, the press service of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation reports.
The platform gives entrepreneurs the infrastructure to work together – from a business idea to the finished product. It includes a coworking space with more than 30 workstations, a lecture hall, a media lab and a meeting room. More than 30 pieces of equipment are on hand for production.
In time, the plan is to develop the cluster further and take it into interregional and international markets.
As Gasan Gasanbalayev, Deputy General Director of the FEDC for Social Development, put it, the creative sector is a significant part of the Far Eastern economy and will keep growing.
“By 2030, we plan to have a network of creative spaces covering at least 100,000 square meters, museum and theatre infrastructure included. Places like this create the conditions for businesses to grow, for new products to appear, and for cooperation across regions,” he added.
