With the project Unternehmen - START, the Goethe-Institutes in France and the Institut français Germany have created the largest Franco-German exchange platform in the field of cultural and creative industries (CCIs).
It builds upon the experiences of the local and national initiatives of both cultural institutes, in particular the projects “Resonance - Platform for Culture and Creative Industries” in Europe (Goethe-Institute in France, 2023-2024) and “Unternehmen dans la culture” (Institut français Deutschland, 2020-2023).
The Franco-German programme:
- aims at young creative entrepreneurs up to the age of 35 from the cultural and creative industries in both countries.
- takes the form of an eight-month mentoring programme.
- includes at least two training trips to Germany and France.
