Under the title “Transformation with the Cultural and Creative Industries”, the International Conference 2021 was all about questions around transformation in and with the cultural and creative industries, transformation processes and paths, methods and competencies in the field of transformation.
We are in a time of profound change of values, our living together and economic cooperation. Our society and our economy are facing great challenges: From globalization to the energy transition and climate change, to the implementation of digitalization and the structural change of rural areas as well as our inner cities. In addition, the Corona pandemic is causing uncertainty.
The cultural and creative industries are drivers of social and economic transformation. They question the existing and create positive utopias, rethink products and services and make them tangible in the form of prototypes. The cultural and creative industries provide methods and expertise in the area of transformational knowledge and culture and act as a bridge between disciplines. Creativity can hardly be automated and will play an increasingly important role as a central resource in the future.
Germany’s Federal Government’s Centre of Excellence for the Cultural and Creative Industries is part of the Federal Government’s Cultural and Creative Industries Initiative coordinated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
