But what exactly are the creative industries?

It’s not easy to define what the creative industries are as it can be applied to a lot of different companies and markets. A report from the European commission gives us this definition: “Cultural and creative sectors mean all sectors whose activities are based on cultural values and/or artistic and other creative expressions”. For us the creative and cultural industries are companies that thrive with the help of creativity, artistry and cultural values. They are companies that look beyond the bottom line. We’ve supported and hosted startups from many different areas such as advertising, design, film, music, video games and much more read more about some of our startups here.
