Bespoke Business Models + Innovative Practices of Cross-Sectoral Cultural + Creative Collaboration
What do data have to do with creativity and culture? Keeping up with global trends is paramount for SME in the culture industries to survive and succeed. To be able to benefit from smart tools, data are instrumental – also for the creative and cultural sectors. To draw upon the innovative power of cross-sectoral collaboration to strengthen the whole industry, it is essential that a sharing culture drives new business models and cocreativity and coproduction across sectors.
The successor project to Digital Cross Over (2019-2021), CCI Thrive explores cutting-edge digital technologies of the creative and cultural sectors. It examines cross-sectoral business cooperations + coproductions using a data-driven approach to inspire innovative new business models, encourage business ventures, boost revenue within the cultural sector + foster better insight into audience preferences. Besides commercial considerations, CCI Thrive will furthermore accommodate vital aspects of cultural creation such as content, green transition, ethical and cultural values.
Co-Funded by the Creative Europe Media programme and the EU, CCI Thrive is set to run until 2024 and is coordinated by the BGZ Berliner Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammearbeit, with partner organisations in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and France (see below); the IMZ is proud to count itself among them.
