PORTUGUESE AUDIOVISUAL CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM: BOUNDARIES, COMPONENTS AND ATTRIBUTES

In this editorial, we present a brief description of the cultural entrepreneurial ecosystem of the audiovisual sector (EECAV) in Portugal, based on the model developed by Gimenez (2024). For this description, we used the Portuguese Classification of Economic Activities (PORTUGAL, 2025). Additionally, we pointed out the relevance of Portuguese legislation for the audiovisual sector and the promotional actions of the Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual (ICA). We also described Portugal's recent experience with Cash Rebate, a financial support mechanism for the audiovisual sector. These three themes illustrate the cultural, social, and material attributes of Portugal's EECAV, as Spigel (2017) classified.
