Creative and Digital Transformation ESCP
We are looking for partners to create the first European Strategic Cluster Partnership (ESCP) on Creative and Digital Transformation. If you are a cluster, a business network organization, an R&D centre, a university department, an innovation hub or a technology centre, focused on ICT, Cultural and/or Creative Industries, and you are interested in creating a strategic alliance on this sector, please contact: veronica.buey@madridnetwork.org.
The aim of this ESCP will be to:
- Establish a sound transnational network of partners with complementary capabilities in the convergence of technology and creative industries
- Intensify cluster and business network collaboration and knowledge transfer to encourage innovation and performance of the European actors and help them face global competition
- Promote the spillovers of Creative and Digital Industries as key transversal drivers of value-chain innovation in their linkages with other sectors such as eHealth, urban planning, mobility, tourism, education, etc
- Encourage the pan-European Strategic Cluster Partnerships to lead international cluster cooperation in areas of strategic interest
- Develop common strategies around regional Smart Specialisation Investments (RIS3) in one of Europe's priority areas
This ESCP will take advantage of the already existing NEM European Technology Platform for New European Media (http://nem-initiative.org/).
