The purpose of the paper is to investigate the impact of local and regional networks and clusters existing in creative industries on regional innovation ecosystems. Real examples of such creative environments shows that they can operate independently of the other regional sectors or can be interconnected with regional sectors. On the basis of the five presented cases, the level of linkages with other sectors was presented. Theoretical background used in the paper is grounded in network approach in strategic management.

To present the sector in terms of sales and employment values the statistical data were analysed, using different approaches to determining the scope of the creative sector (Eurostat, International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers as well as European Cluster Observatory). The data are compiled with the number of clusters in the EU countries. Presented results shows the need for continues monitoring the cultural and creative sectors to adapt national and regional innovation policy and coordinate the cooperation between creative industries and other sectors of the national/regional economy.
