CLC South East/Alps
Our Regional Ambition
Starting in the summer of 2024, CLC South East/Alps (SEA) will launch its initiatives to network the Culture and Creative Industries (CCSI) in the European South East Alps region and connect them with leading European research and educational institutions. Our efforts will support students, start-ups, solo entrepreneurs, and SMEs in developing innovative products and services with a strong European brand identity, enriching the European innovation model with transformative solutions. CLC SEA will concentrate on the themes of next materials, new work, and new processes, investigating how the creative industries can contribute to the triple transition through creative innovations.
Special thanks go to Kreativwirtschaft Austria, whose long-standing advocacy for the establishment of the EIT Culture & Creativity has enabled the founding of CLC SEA in Austria as the host organization. We also extend our gratitude to the Vienna Business Agency for its active support of CLC SEA at its Vienna location.
