Networks consisting of contacts between people can be found everywhere. The purpose of a network is always the same; to facilitate the availability of resources to the various parties. This also applies when it comes to entrepreneurship, in this case with digital media in focus, where the network is the entrepreneurs tool to expand their business interests, complete productions to the customer and grow in the industry. The objective of this study is to examine the role of entrepreneurs and corporate networks, how they are formed and maintained and about their properties. We also examine how companies in the production of media that are positioned in relatively remote areas establish themselves on the global market. How much impact does the environment in which it is located have on the company? To carry out this study we have held semistructured interviews and chosen qualitative methods and theories from already existing research material. In conclusion we arrived at three guidelines for entrepreneurs in the creative industry in northern Sweden regarding network and geographic location.
