Bus/Financial - Economics / Creative industries
German term or phrase: Branchenkomplex
I am currently translating a text on creative industries, in which these are referred to as a 'Branchenkomplex'. For example:

..."Dies geschieht trotzdem der Branchenkomplex aufgrund seiner Heterogenität und wachsenden Fragmentierung keinesfalls einfach zu verstehen ist, geschweige denn dass es schon gelingen würde, zielgenaue Wirtschaftsprogramme in die Praxis der Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft einbringen zu können."

I'm not exactly sure what a Branchenkomplex is, nor how to translate it, and would be grateful for any help.

Thank you in advance.

neutral  BrigitteHilgner: Sicherlich nicht "inferiority complex"! Es geht um ein Konglomerat von (kreativen) Branchen.

assemblage of economic sectors


Explanation:
It seems that the idea that the "complex," in music for example, could include musical performance, instrument manufacture, piano tuning, production impressarios, etc.
