How can you position your business today so that it will continue to be successful tomorrow?

Artificial intelligence, new technologies, changing customer needs, and environmental imperatives are presenting companies with new challenges. At the same time, however, new opportunities are emerging for creative companies to develop innovative services and sustainable business models.

Spaces for the Future: Think Along and Help Shape Them

In five interactive “future spaces,” you’ll join experts in exploring the most important digital, social, and environmental developments and their impact on the creative industries. Discuss challenges, discover new opportunities, and learn how you can make your business model future-ready today. Real-world best-practice examples show how other companies are successfully navigating this transformation and provide inspiration for your own next steps.

You can visit the three “Future Spaces” that are most relevant to you and your company:

Future Space 1: AI & Creative Intelligence

  • How is AI changing creative professions?
  • What new opportunities are emerging?
  • Which tools and applications are already working in practice?

Future Scenario 2:Sustainability as a Driver of Innovation

  • How can sustainability and the circular economy become competitive advantages?
  • What successful examples are there already?
A red globe surrounded by four circular arrows on a light gray background, symbolizing global interconnectedness and the dynamism of the creative industries, as well as the worldwide impact of innovation.

Future Space 3: New Customers. New Expectations.

  • How are markets and target audiences changing?
  • What trends will shape future demand?

Future Area 4:Sustainable Business Models

  • How can creative companies remain resilient and economically successful?
  • What new forms of value creation are emerging?
Against a light gray background, a simple red outline of a trophy is visible in the center, symbolizing the impact of innovation in the creative industries.

Future Space 5: Co-creating the Future

  • What future skills do creative companies need?
  • What role do partnerships, industry diversification, and transformation expertise play in this context?
The red outline of a light bulb with rays emanating from it—symbolizing an idea or creativity—against a light gray background perfectly captures the spirit of the creative industries and their impact on innovation.

Experience we:transform live

A special highlight of the conference is the projects that have emerged from the current co-creation program, we:transform. Participants will present the ideas, concepts, and prototypes they have developed collaboratively as part of the program. You’ll see how creative skills help transform digital, social, and environmental challenges into innovative solutions.

The conference will conclude with a ceremony to award the Creative Industries Expert certificates.
