EIT Culture & Creativity – we turn the innovation of Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries into societal impact by facilitating long term partnerships with a purpose.

The EIT Culture & Creativity ecosystem offers novel connections and unique opportunities for innovators across all disciplines and sectors, creating added value that partners cannot achieve alone. By redefining entrepreneurship, they empower stakeholders to transform projects into long-term partnerships with a societal purpose which are financially sustainable.

Their annual programmes include open calls for co-financing, support for universities launching innovative higher education initiatives or organisations offering innovative professional training, as well as support for both private companies and public institutions bringing new products and services to market. EIT also facilitate the creation of businesses and scaling of SME. From 2024-2027, EIT CC focuses on Architecture, Audio-Visual Media, Cultural Heritage, Fashion, and Gaming.

Their six regional Co-Location Centres in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bologna, Helsinki, Kosice, and Vienna unite stakeholders from culture, education, business, and research to drive tangible change locally. Together, we shorten the time from innovation to market uptake and strengthen competitiveness and growth of the European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries.
