Innovation and Creative Industries
Businesses in this industry type are characterised by highly-crafted creative and/or technical expertise. Sajen legal understands that supporting this industry not only enhances the cultural diversity of the Sunshine Coast but contributes significantly to the economic success of the region.
"The creative industries sector, although relatively new, already adds $1.96 billion to the value of Queensland's services and manufacturing sectors each year. The sector employs more than 67,000 Queenslanders, and adds $1.1 billion in exports to the Queensland economy. In total creative industries are worth $3.4 billion a year to the Queensland economy." Department of State Development, QLD, 5 October 2006.
Often the economic value of the creative industries is contained in the intellectual property behind the end product. Sajen legal partners with a number of arts related associations to advise on relevant copyright, trademark and patent issues. Most recently, we formed a relationship with the Regional Advertising and Design Association (RAD) to further develop its membership benefits by way of business advice seminars and expansion of its network. Sajen legal is also the Principal Sponsor for the Sunshine Coast Art Prize, a national acquisitive prize hosted by Caloundra Regional Gallery. For more information visit www.scap.org.au
Sajen legal is one of the largest corporate arts sponsors on the Sunshine Coast, with sponsorship of the Sunshine Coast University Gallery and Caloundra Regional Gallery programs. In addition, Sajen legal opens its office several times a year to host exhibitions of local and Brisbane artists' work.
