Creative Connections: How International Networks Open Up New Perspectives

What happens when creative ecosystems collaborate across borders? In this session, you will meet initiatives that make exactly that possible: From Europe-wide innovation networks and new alliances between administration and the creative industries to regional best practices from Austria and global cultural projects.

Get to know the Enterprise Europe Network, Creative Bureaucracy, kreativland.tirol and the Goethe-Institut – and discover how international cooperation accelerates ideas, opens up markets and creates new forms of collaboration.

Talk to the people behind the programs, exchange ideas and find out what opportunities await you beyond your own market. Which connections will take your projects to the next level?

These are the impulses:

Quantum, Art & Culture That Moves Europe: Projects from the Goethe-Institut

Creative Go Global: EU Funding Made Easy

Creative Bureaucracy: How Creative Administrations Create New Solutions Worldwide

From Network to Impact: How kreativland.tirol Unleashes Creative Potential

In cooperation with Goethe-Institut, Creative Bureaucracy Festival and kreativland.tirol.

Creative Go Global: EU Funding Made Easy

The European Union supports companies and research institutions with a variety of funding programs and financial instruments. However, those who are not familiar with the European funding jungle miss out on many opportunities. In this format, you will find out what support the Enterprise Europe Network offers the cultural and creative industries and what opportunities there are for networking with international partners. The Enterprise Europe Network is the world's largest support network for small and medium-sized enterprises and is funded by the European Commission.

This impulse is part of "Creative Connections: How International Networks Open Up New Perspectives".

At our participatory Stage K4, we combine impulses with networking. Come along at the beginning of the session and take a look at all four projects. After a short project presentation, you will have the opportunity to network intensively with the people behind the projects and find out more about their work.

For the first 30 minutes we will present all projects on stage, then there will be 90 minutes for deep dives.
