Between creative practice and digital tools
Our contribution to this year's German Creative Economy Summit in Hamburg
21.04.2026
On April 28 and 29, 2026, the cultural and creative industries will meet in Hamburg for the German Creative Economy Summit (GCES). At Kampnagel, everything will revolve around the key future topics of the industry: artificial intelligence, the digital economy and new business models.
The creative economy is in a state of flux. New technologies are fundamentally changing value creation, processes and markets. The summit offers two days full of insights, practical workshops and exchanges with experts from areas such as music, film, design, games, media and more.
Mathis Nitschke in the panel discussion
We as CreativTechHUB (formerly bayernkreativ) are pleased to be represented at the German Creative Economy Summit 2026 as a cooperation partner and to provide an impulse from the field of creative tech and artificial intelligence together with Mathis Nitschke.
In the panel discussion, Mathis Nitschke will join Aissu Diallo (Managing Director) and Kerstin Gold (ArtTech Strategy Advisor, Art Market Expert) to discuss how creative work is currently being transformed by new digital tools, platforms and new types of collaboration. The focus will be on the question of how artistic and creative processes are evolving as production methods, working environments and forms of expression increasingly shift.
Mathis Nitschke works as a composer, sound designer and founder of the CORPUS initiative at the interface of music, immersive sound spaces and technology. With CORPUS, he is developing a training corpus for music systems as well as new models for collaboration and the use of creative content in digital contexts.
His approach sees technology not as a substitute, but as an extension of creative practice. In his work, he combines artistic research with technological development and shows how new tools can contribute to expanding and rethinking creative spaces.
