Today, the\u00a0European Institute of Innovation and Technology<\/a>\u00a0(EIT) announced its\u00a0Knowledge and Innovation Community<\/a>\u00a0(KIC) on Culture and Creativity, adding to the already existing eight Communities, which address a pressing societal challenge: climate, digital, energy, health, raw materials, food, manufacturing, urban mobility.<\/p>\n

The EIT launched a call for proposals for the new KIC in October 2021, inviting applicants to submit their vision for how EIT Culture & Creativity could bring about change in the sector. The winning consortium ICE – Innovation by Creative Economy, led by\u00a0Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft<\/a>, consists of 50 partners from 20 countries, presenting a wide geographical coverage. The mission is to unlock the innovation potential of the cultural and creative sectors and industries, and to contribute to their sustainable growth and recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. This new pan-European partnership will bring key players in the field of education, research and business together, providing Europe with well-trained professionals and innovative entrepreneurs who will turn the results of cutting-edge research into innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariya\u00a0Gabriel<\/strong>, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth said: \u201cCulture is not only our common language, it also an innovating ecosystem. The new EIT Culture and Creativity Innovation Community will capitalise on the unique richness of European diversity to guarantee that creatives are ingrained in the pan-European Innovation Ecosystem. I look forward to observing the growth of this sector’s innovators and start-ups under EIT’s innovative approach, which has had a significant impact on the lives of Europeans over the previous decade.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To\u00a0facilitate EIT\u00a0Culture &\u00a0Creativity’s establishment, the EIT will provide\u00a0the\u00a0winning partnership with a start-up grant of up to\u00a0\u20ac6\u00a0million\u00a0to ensure\u00a0they become fully operational as soon as possible. As the partnership reaches its full speed \u2013 offering educational programmes, supporting innovation projects and providing business creation and business acceleration services across Europe \u2013 the annual grant will be increased, and could reach approximately \u20ac70 million per year under the current\u00a0Horizon Europe<\/a>\u00a0programme. Additionally, the KIC is expected to leverage more funds from the private and public sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
