In contrast to other countries, the initial Swedish engagement in the experience industry has not been developed top-down, but in regional cross boundary hubs where local culture, business, education and research have met. This has worked out very well, and a unique model for development in the creative industries has emerged, the FUNK model.
Today there are eight cross boundary hubs for the experience industry in Sweden. More are to come.
