For businesses in the creative industries looking to establish themselves in Europe or launch their international expansion from France, EuraCreative is a European hub with a global outlook.

EuraCreative is building international relationships with recognised partners active in the creative industries sector.

From Montreal to Shenzhen, our aim is to foster bilateral exchanges that contribute to our global reach, the appeal of our centre of excellence, and the growth of our businesses.

OPEN TO THE WORLD

EuraCreative is developing partnerships with recognised organisations active in the creative industries sector across Europe and around the world.

Building on its success and its geographical location at the heart of Europe, EuraCreative also aims to establish itself as the gateway to the European market.

– Recognised as an internationally renowned hub for the creative industries, EuraCreative showcases the expertise of its member companies at key European events with a global reach (Gamescom, SouthBySouthWest, MamaFestival…).

– Our trade festival in the Hauts-de-France region is also taking on an international dimension, facilitated by our partners such as Zù in Montreal (the technology incubator dedicated to the cultural and creative industries), or Music Tech Europe (the professional association of innovative European companies serving the music sector)…

This international reach is an asset that enables us to guide the companies within our ecosystem to consider expanding beyond France’s borders.

We have been working with the teams at EuraCreative for several years. As part of this, we have signed a strategic partnership with EuraCreative and the IRD (French Research Institute for Development) aimed at supporting our start-ups on both sides of the Atlantic…
