Organizer & Partners

Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft was founded in 2010 and is a municipal organisation for the promotion of Hamburg's creative industries. It is the largest municipal creative industries promotion organisation in Germany and is the direct contact and service point for all creative professionals and companies in the creative industries in the Hanseatic city. Its task is to improve the framework conditions for the creative industries in Hamburg and to act as an interface - between the various areas of the creative industries as well as with other players from business, politics and society.

With our expertise and reach, we are a driving force and platform builder. In 2023, we initiated the German Creative Economy Summit as the first nationwide platform for the entire industry - and have since developed it together with strong partners into a forward-looking flagship event for the German creative industries.

Our goal: to strengthen creatives - and make the creative economy visible as a relevant sector of the future.

The Ministry of Culture and Media supports the development of culture and the creative industries.

Hamburg is a cultural and media city with a long and lively tradition and an important location for the creative industries with a high level of innovation. This position is strengthened and expanded in a targeted manner, e.g. through the support and programmes offered by Hamburg Kreativ GmbH. The Ministry of Culture and Media supports the cultural, creative and media industries in all necessary transformation processes, in particular with the aim of diversity, social justice, sustainability and a future-proof approach to digitalisation.

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is the main sponsor of the German Creative Economy Summit.
