Creative Transformation

for sectors and companies

Creativity is the source and creative industries are the catalyst for innovation.

The transformation of the economy and new, better solutions for the great challenges of our time. Open innovation processes with the creative industries as idea providers, developers and professional implementers - this is what Kreativwirtschaft Austria creates for companies, sectors and the economy.

Creative Catalysts as Impulse Providers and Innovators

In a co-creative process, companies can further develop and innovate their products and services as well as their business model with the help of Creative Catalysts - selected professionals from the fields of gaming, service design, industrial design, social media marketing, software development, storytelling, positioning, architecture, photography, the application of new technologies and much more. - to further develop and innovate their products, services and offers, but also their business model.

Transformation - an intensive process

At the beginning of every transformation process there is an analysis phase with the identification of challenges and opportunities (SWOT and trend analysis). Based on the results of the analysis, the creative services that have the greatest leverage effect for the topic, the sector or the challenge are then identified and the appropriate creative professionals are specifically sought and selected. To ensure that not only the participating companies but also entire sectors, the economy and society can benefit from these processes, we summarise all suggestions, ideas and findings from the open innovation process with the creative industries in a guide.

The Challenge

Knowledge transfer
