Abstract
The United Nations recognises creative industries as essential for economic growth, employment, social inclusion, and cultural diversity. However, policymakers and local stakeholders often lack awareness of these industries' potential. This study focuses on the Taskisla Design LAB (TDL) project, supported by the İstanbul Development Agency (İSTKA), which aims to promote collaboration among design-based sectors in İstanbul. TDL addresses issues related to institutionalisation, capacity building, and funding, engaging 741 actors, conducting 37 activities, and launching five pilot projects. Findings indicate a lack of institutional awareness, emphasising the need for stronger collaborations, innovative management, and diverse funding sources.
