Cultural and Creative Industries

The world over, the cultural and creative sector is an engine that shapes social change. Promoting the cultural and creative industries according to local needs is therefore a central field of action for the Goethe-Institut. We train, advise and network creative professionals and support the development of sustainable infrastructures. The Goethe-Institut strengthens the cultural sector and thus opens up access to culture and education through further education measures for cultural entrepreneurs, through assistance in the internationalisation of creative businesses and through the provision of (co-)production structures.
