As a cross-sectoral industry, the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) play a major role in economic development by merging traditional sectors with new technologies and digital applications. In today’s digitalised world, CCIs are key contributors to marketing, growth, and internationalisation efforts. With diverse sub-sectors such as film, music, design, publishing, arts and crafts, cultural heritage, and gaming, CCIs have a broad societal reach, impacting well-being, social cohesion, and community development.

To support national CCIs, the German federal government launched the Cultural and Creative Industries Initiative in 2007. In Baden-Württemberg, organisations like Medien and Film Gesellschaft (MFG) are responsible for driving this effort. At the European level, the Creative Europe program, with a budget of €2.44 billion for the 2021–2027 period, provides funding for the cultural and creative sectors, focusing on three core areas: culture, media, and cross-sectoral activities.

As part of Horizon Europe, the EU supports research and innovation activities through the Cluster 2 programme, which targets three key areas: innovative research on democracy and governance, European cultural heritage, and social and economic transformation.
