Innovation Policy Platform for the Cultural and Creative Industries

Supported by the European Commission, ekip aims to develop innovation policies for the cultural and creative industries (CCI). We invite CCI organizations, SME's, experts, investors, and corporations to collaborate in formulating policies to develop innovation ecosystems for the creative and cultural industries. More networks and companies are involved — more data we can collect, analyze, and prioritize to make positive changes for all CCI actors and entrepreneurs.
