It also focuses on research, data gathering, creative economy, culture management, legal and regulatory matters, technology and innovation, marketing, and promotion. Its primary focus is on the Independent Cultural and Creative Ecologies and Markets, aiming to enhance productivity and production lines related to these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International Independent is a non-partisan group of organizations that is not involved in sponsoring or supporting any political activities, political parties, religions, or religious initiatives. The collective behavior of International Independent is shaped by the multicultural memories, needs, and expectations of people. The consortium is not affiliated with any particular movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Founder and Chairman of International Independent is<strong> P. Neufeld<\/strong> an independent arts, cultural, creative, and entertainment industrialist (ACCEI), also the Founder and Chairman of the International Cultural and Creative Industries Regulatory Authority and the Civilizations Council, ceaselessly supporting the nascent creativity and experience economy ecologies.
