This year’s #ECIS22 GREEN Conference stands for the re-imagination, re-focusing and re-framing of policies for the cultural creative sectors and industries (CCSI). This conference is about green transformation in our industry and creative sector. During this #ECIS22 we will discuss the contribution of CCIs to the Green Transition with the guiding question for the next decade:

How can CCSI contribute to the race to zero emissions and make Europe the first climate-neutral continent?


All video recordings of the speeches are online here

The opening of the European Creative Industries 2022 by President von der Leyen marked a milestone for the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries. We are deeply grateful for her fundational speech setting the stage for the Great Green Creative Industries in the next decade.
