25 essential skills for your business in times of change

20.5.2026 | 9:00 – 12:00 | online | free of charge for a maximum of 50 participants

Digital technologies, social upheaval and ecological challenges are placing new demands on creative professionals. At the same time, existing business models and skills are becoming obsolete faster than ever before, while new roles, services and customer expectations are often not yet clearly defined.

What do you need to remain successful on the market in the future?

In this interactive online workshop organized by WIFI International and WKÖ in cooperation with Kreativwirtschaft Austria (KAT), you will learn about 25 future skills that have been specially developed for the creative industries and receive orientation for your entrepreneurial development. Using the CYANOTYPES framework – an interactive skills circle – you will be able to recognize:

  • Which of these skills are particularly relevant for your self-employment,
  • where you currently stand and
  • how you can develop yourself and your offers in a targeted manner.

This is what you get from the online workshop:

  • Orientation about which skills you will need in the future
  • Impulses on how you can develop new offers and services
  • Support in serving your customers better
  • Exchange with other self-employed creative professionals
  • Concrete tools instead of abstract theory
