The Creative Industries Styria … What?

Creativity has potential
To be precise, economic potential. However: this potential has to be visualized. Creativity can profit economically with innovative ideas.

Networking creativity
We live in a society of networks. The Creative Industries Styria is also a networking association: it interlinks actors of the creative scene with each other as well as with regional business partners.

Finding creativity
The platform of the Styrian creative industry on www.cis.at is an important instrument of networking. The most important part is the data pool where all persons active in the creative sector have the opportunity to register without costs and offer their services. In this way, a continuously growing list with experts from all sectors will develop – and therewith the most important search engine of the Styrian creative industry.

Living creativity
“Creare“ (lat., create) is by no means an inflexible process. Creativity happens spontaneously, impulsively and with vision. And the persons behind the scene show the same characteristics: spontaneous, impulsive, visionary. They live creativity with enthusiasm and engagement, thus backing the creative community to a considerable extent.

Creative Industries Styria … Who?

Network
The objective of the Creative Industry Styria is to further develop the Styrian creative potential and interlink it with industry, trade and the service sector. Creative industries are a potential field of the Styrian economy; their active promotion increases the attraction of the location and makes a considerable contribution towards added regional value.

Cooperation and coordination
The Creative Industries Styria works on the strategic set-up and expansion of the creative industry. Coordination and cooperation are the central areas of focus. It functions as an interface between creative persons and the industry, interlinks both sides and thus creates the basis for the implementation of innovative ideas. The Creative Industries Styria functions as a cooperation and communication partner for institutions and companies intending to realize creative concepts, and promotes the implementation by means of project-related consulting.

Creative Industries … Why?

Knowledge, Capital, Society
The “creative industries“ is among the fastest growing sectors in the Styrian economy.  This is not by chance as we are presently experiencing a fundamental change of social structures. The key word reads “know-how society” – “know-how” stands for the capital invested in the market by companies to make innovations marketable.

Mental work
The creative industry covers a broad range of activities in various sectors: advertising, graphics, design, architecture, fashion, music and the entire media and publishing branch. Technological innovations also need creativity. The creative economy thus comprises spheres where intensive intellectual work together with technological craftsmanship results in new solutions – from creative handicraft to high-tech-engineering. 



Failing inclusive
Whether realized ideas – so to say: innovations – really work out, is very rarely known by the persons concerned. High risks and possible failure are permanent partners of the creative industry. This creates the very special energy urgently needed as impulse for innovations.
