creative.nrw

The cultural and creative industries are not only a significant economic factor in themselves. As a cross-cutting sector, they also drive innovation in other economic areas and in society as a whole. This makes them a catalyst for the sustainable development of the state. creative.nrw is the network for creative professionals in North Rhine-Westphalia. Commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy, it showcases, connects, and empowers the players in the state's creative industries. With an interdisciplinary team, creative.nrw is the point of contact for creative professionals in North Rhine-Westphalia – and for everyone who wants to support and work with them.
