The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the ongoing wave of digital transformation are profoundly influencing all areas of life worldwide, particularly the Cultural Industry. Digital technology has fundamentally reshaped the models of production, distribution, and consumption of cultural products, while simultaneously opening up boundless creative spaces through emerging forms such as digital art, virtual reality, and digital content platforms. This transformation presents an urgent need for innovation in education and training to provide human resources capable of adapting to, and leading the evolution of the Cultural Industry in the digital era.
The position of Cultural Industry is increasingly recognized as a key economic sector that plays an essential role in driving economic growth, generating employment, and serving as an effective means of preserving, promoting, and disseminating national identity and cultural values globally. This profound transformation sets forth new and demanding requirements for human resources.
Traditional knowledge alone is no longer sufficient; the market now seeks for professionals who can integrate artistic thinking, creative business management skills, and the ability to apply digital technology to generate high-value cultural products in the digital environment.
