He stressed the need to foster innovation in creative industries, particularly in fields like science fiction, by providing essential resources, network support, and policy frameworks to stimulate the flourishing of creativity and robust growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum marked the 20th anniversary of the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which encouraged developing countries to enhance their capacity to protect and promote cultural diversity through dialogue and international cooperation.

Up to 150 representatives from 10 countries, including France, Germany, and Austria, attended the forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cases highlighted cutting-edge technological innovations like artificial intelligence, extended displays and big data, covering new technology applications in the cultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
