Enhancing competitiveness of European cultural and creative sectors and industries

Funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), an EU body, we in EIT Culture & Creativity provide access to funding, knowledge, and tailored support.

As part of the largest European innovation network supported by EIT, we build lasting connections between research, industry, academia, and cultural institutions.

We work within our focal areas — Architecture, Fashion & Textiles, Cultural Heritage, Audiovisual & Media, and Games — supporting development especially related to sustainability and recyclability, societal coherence and community building, and smart use of digital technology.

In practice, we launch funding calls for companies, educational institutions, research institutes, and cultural organizations; provide business creation services for start-ups and SMEs; and build funding paths including investor connections.

We also support societal transformation and community development in various ways.

Regional Hub North covers the Nordics, Baltics, and Northern Poland & Germany — acting as a regional contact point and entryway into EIT Culture & Creativity.
