Become a Partner

Setting impulses. Promoting innovation. Shaping the future of the creative industries.

The German Creative Economy Summit 2026 is the central business congress of the German creative industries. As a partner, you are part of a strong network of companies, start-ups, creative professionals and decision-makers from business, politics, administration and science.

Use your participation to take a stand - for innovation, social responsibility and economic relevance.

Positioning & Visibility: Present your company as a driver of transformation - on a platform with nationwide and international reach.

Co-Creation of Content: Actively contribute your perspective - in panels, presentations, workshops or your own formats.

Access to Decision-Makers & Talents: Network with industry leaders, thought leaders, young talents and potential partners.

Reach & Communication Power: Benefit from visibility via our communication channels - online and on site.

Alliances & Responsibility: Become part of a close alliance that makes the creative economy visible as a future-relevant economic sector.

We offer you various forms of partnership - from content participation and targeted networking formats to visible brand presence:

Content Partnership: Help shape the programme - e.g. through panels, impulses or workshops in our tracks.

Networking Partnership : Network within the framework of side events, matchings or exclusive meeting formats.

Communication Partnership: Increase your reach through joint media work, live podcasts, moderations or digital formats.

Experience and Branding Partnership: Visibly showcase your company - with lounges, promo stands or by helping to design the supporting programme.

Talent Promotion: Give young creatives access to GCES - and position yourself as a committed, responsible force in the industry.

Our partner packages combine these services depending on your objectives and focus. We will be happy to work with you to develop the right solution - customised, impact-oriented and tailored to your needs.

Think strategically: Take a stand on key issues for the future - innovation, diversity, responsibility.

Have a cross-industry impact: Reach players from all 11 submarkets of the creative industries.

Be visible nationally & internationally: Utilise the network of professional associations, media partners, funding institutions and political players.

Networking at eye level: Exchange ideas with decision-makers, creatives and talents - in curated formats and open encounters.

We look forward to exchanging ideas and developing a joint partnership with you.
