In November 2020, EMEA is launching a new research initiative together with its network EMNES to explore the channels of value and job creation in the Cultural and Creative Industry (CCI) in the Mediterranean and Africa post COVID-19 and to propose recommendations to enhance the capacity for the sector to become an engine of innovation powered by digitalization and to transform towards more sustainability and inclusion.
A new project CREACT4MED co-funded by the European Union and led by EMEA aims at uncovering the untapped potential of CCI to enhance economic growth, create decent jobs and promote social inclusion in the Mediterranean by exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the sector, providing training, and sub-granting for projects led by women and youth.
