Day 2 | Wednesday, 14th

German Creative Hubs, Creative Cities and Regional Networks: Germany's multi-layered approach to Creative Hubs and the Creative Industries reveals a wide array of structures that are worthwhile knowing. Find out the best practice examples as well as challenges overcome by a cooperative, grassroots-bred Creative Hub like Frappant in Hamburg (www.frappant.org); become familiar with the incentives provided by Hamburg's Creative City Bureau, the Kreativgesellschaft Hamburg (www.kreativgesellschaft.org); and learn about regional networks like Baden-Wurttenberg's Creative Industries Network (find out more via www.kreativnetzwerk.mfg.de).
