The main objective of the article is to divide the regions and districts of Slovakia into clusters according to the selected economic indicators of creative industries. The division is important for the recognition of strong regions of high creative potential as well as for revealing disparities for indicators and regions. This is relevant in relation to creating supporting policies on regional and national level. For there is lack of relevant statistical data on creative industries, statistical survey of the creative industry in Slovakia is marginal. For this purpose, we also analyzed regional wage differences in creative industries in Slovakia.
