Fourteen cultural and creative Industry clusters selected in South Mediterranean countries

Fourteen high-potential Cultural and Creative Industries clusters were selected to take part in pilot initiatives by a regional programme on the "Development of cultural and creative industries and clusters in the Southern Mediterranean", co-funded by the European Union.

Med Culture's official website is now online! Discover a wide set of databases, resources, news, info-graphics, etc. - on www.medculture.eu - You can also follow up on latest updates via Med Culture social media channels. This group will continue to be used for collaborative purposes (gathering views and ideas, exchanging lessons…) and for the main material of the programme that we would like to keep on the long term. Thank you for your understanding. Image  http://www.medculture.eu    Image  Facebook    Image  Twitter    Image  Instagram

Selected clusters will receive technical assistance over a period of three years to improve their competitiveness and their products, to modernise and innovate, as well as to access new markets, including financial support for the acquisition and maintenance of new or improved equipment or services.

Most of the clusters identified are in the design-based industries that include clothing and footwear, jewellery, furniture and home decoration, crafts and textile. The other cultural and creative industries - cultural transmedia, live culture and professional creative services - are very present in the countries of the Southern Mediterranean.
