Abstract: Abstract Art and culture stand for themselves, but are also key factors for corporate and entrepreneurial, as well as for social and economic, development. Regional and tourism research recognize art, culture and the creative industries as potential resources for the competitiveness of regions and destinations and as valuable factors in attracting businesses, residents and guests. Considering regional innovativeness generated within regional innovation systems, art and culture are essential components stimulating the innovative potential of individuals, entrepreneurs and organizations. However, the location or region must provide conditions and location factors that attract creative industries. Additionally, regional innovation systems require the establishment of platforms and networks in which art, culture, creative industries, and companies from other branches can mutually enrich and reinforce each other. In order to create a platform and to approach and analyze different questions and aspects related to the interconnections of economy and culture, Eurac Research, in cooperation with the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, initiated the conference format “Culture meets Economy.” Out of this conference format, a case study analysis arose, focusing on the regional innovation system in South Tyrol and the role of art, culture and the creative industries within this innovation system. The following paper presents selected results of the conferences and of the study carried out in this context.
