That was the we:transform Camp 2025 - Shaping the future with creative power

Creative entrepreneurs from all over Austria came together to take an in-depth look at the role of the creative industries in the triple transformation - social, ecological, digital. The question was clear: what contribution can we as creative professionals make to help shape the economy and society in a sustainable way?

The answer: a powerful one! Around 20 project teams have come together in an inspiring atmosphere to impressively demonstrate the power of the creative industries with their ideas, concepts and prototypes. The projects range from new business models and collaborative platforms to very specific services and products that create sustainable benefits for customers and society.

However, the aim was not just to launch projects. The focus was also on their own entrepreneurial progress. The participants can reflect on their business models, rethink and sharpen them. The aim is to leverage potential, inspire each other and try out new ways of working together. Cooperation has once again proven to be a key skill - as has the ability to deal with change: Transformation skills are the topic of the future in the creative industries.

The atmosphere was characterized by openness, trust and a desire for development. The mixture of thinking space, exchange and concrete action enabled exactly what we:transform stands for: developing bold ideas together, learning from each other and making a real impact.

Now it's time to keep at it. The resulting projects are entering the next phase - accompanied by our transformation coaches, online impulses and the strong network of we:transform. The goal remains clear: to make the creative industries visible and strengthen them as a key player in the transformation.

Because the future can be shaped - and creative people make the difference.

Our thanks go to all participants, our project partners, the coaches and the cardamom team!
