Enhancing CCI skills and knowledge in Advanced Technologies for more competitive and inclusive products and services

Rural industrial regions with strong cultural traditions risk decline as creative actors and firms struggle to adopt new technologies. ECLECTIC-CE seeks to renew these areas through creative-tech cooperation. Partners offer cross-border training and “learning by doing” labs where actors and students from the cultural and creative industries sector work with artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, robotics or virtual reality providers to co-create prototypes and services. Joint networks, toolkits and showcases help regions keep young talent, create new jobs and reposition themselves in emerging markets.
