CCSI4CCSI

The Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) hold a special position across Europe, as they are at the same time key drivers of sustainable growth and job creation, important factors of creativity and innovation to other sectors, as well as significant contributors to social and cultural sustainability. Nevertheless, the small size of the companies in the sector, the severe effects from the economic and the pandemic crisis and the lack of an entrepreneurial mindset, make CCSI vulnerable to the rapidly changing environment and within an economic market where their value does not get sufficiently appreciated. Thus, CCSI need guidance and support, targeted capacity building, networking and synergies opportunities, and funding incentives.
The project “Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries for Collaboration, Competitiveness, Sustainability and Innovation – CCSI4CCSI” brings together 8 partners from 5 different European regions, to facilitate the triple transition (green, digital, social) for and with the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) at regional and interregional level. The CCSI4CCSI projects aims to: a) support CCSI actors to develop, transform and innovate; b) promote synergies within the regional ecosystem and cross-fertilisation of CCSI with other smart specialisation priority sectors; c) inspire proactive decision making by linking foresight tools with policy.
