Turning Innovation into Impact across Europe

From Projects to Partnerships

Our purpose is to help all players in the European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries by turning innovation into impact, and to do what one cannot obtain alone. It works for small, medium and large organisations, commercial and non-profit alike, for individual creators and large networks, for private investors and public funders as well as for cities and regions. Our vision for the EIT CC innovation community is to fundamentally change the CCSI towards new understandings of competitiveness, resilience, and sustainable economic growth by changing our collective understanding of entrepreneurship.

The entrepreneurship we support converts short term initiatives or projects into long term partnerships with a societal purpose, which are financially sustainable. At the DDW, we are proud to present four innovative projects: - Art-Eco is the first initiative of its kind transforming the approach to reforestation by leveraging the power of the world’s largest cultural movement of our times – gaming. - MemorAIz is at the forefront of the AI-driven automation of the job market by offering an AI-powered learning app that enhances memory retention, streamlines note-taking and personalizes the learning experience. - HERAI offers a commercial platform empowering cultural organizations to benefit from the income annually generated by cultural tourism across Europe through the use of data intelligence. - Wellbeing Dance introduces a bio-psycho-social approach to elder care through creative dance interventions by integrating technology designed to address the challenges of aging, dementia risk, and social isolation.
