The objective of promoting entrepreneurship towards creative and cultural industries seems easy, observing it as an adjustment of economic phenomena, however, government policy, heavily contaminated by corruption brings great challenges, such as protecting the national industry, building trust in the Investors, guaranteeing young people an education that improves innovation and creativity, guarantees the satisfaction of their basic needs, which motivates them to lead teams, start a business, believe in the country and its ethnic and cultural wealth. To exhibit a creative economy, special regulations on education, legal, commercial and labor matters that are flexible with these initiatives are required, so that these challenges do not weaken the initiatives of creative minds and do not increase informalism. That is when the challenge becomes more interesting.
