Presentation
This talk presents EIT Culture & Creativity, an initiative designed to strengthen and transform Europe’s Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) by connecting creatives and organisations to Europe’s largest innovation network. We dive into how the arts can help us rethink the way we currently run our cultural and creative sectors and industries from fashion to film to transform the world according to their vision of the green and digital transitions. Then, we examine the impact of AI on Business models & IP-rights in the cultural and creative industries.
