European Federation for the Creative Economy

13.05.2022

ECBN continues to evolve: The European Creative Business Network becomes the European Federation for the Creative Economy. Since 2011, the alliance has connected around 170 leading support organizations in the cultural and creative industries across Europe: locally, regionally and nationally.

"The European Creative Business Network, founded 2011, is laying the ground to support the #CCSI in optimal transitions in next 25 years by transitioning itself: Toward the European Federation for the Creative Economy - the very first cross-disciplinary advocacy body for #creativity as a game changing driver for #skills, jobs, companies and a #sustainable growth in #Europe."

Bernd Fesel, ECBN director

On 9 May 2022, ECBN board member Dr. Henning Berthold from bayernkreativ presented the new association and its most important guiding principles and working lines at the general assembly and members' forum in Graz.

"Creativity is a key resource of our economy and Europe is a creative powerhouse. The new European Federation for Creative Economy will champion its cultural and creative practitioners as a key driver of value creation - both in the economic and wider sense - and a transformative force in realizing a more inclusive, sustainable and forward-looking Europe."
