Creative Ports
Creative Ports (2019-2021) was a project with the aim to improve and encourage collaboration between the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) actors of the participating countries and to further develop strategies and processes around internationalisation.
The project was funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme of the European Union and it was a flagship project of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) and PA Culture.
The partnership comprised 14 partner organisations from the countries around the Baltic Sea – funding agencies, municipalities, international cultural institutes, and universities – who joined forces in a consortium led by the Goethe-Institut (DE). The Baltic Sea Region includes Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and the northern parts of Germany as well as partner countries Norway and the northwest regions of Russia.
The partner organisations all worked with local cultural and creative actors and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and ensured the facilitation of transnational cooperation with peers from other regions. Companies and other players in the CCIs thereby unveiled opportunities for internationalisation and initiated joint value creation.
