ekip - European Cultural and Creative Industries Innovation Policy Platform - is a Horizon Europe project aimed at supporting the development of policies that establish open innovation processes as the new standard. This initiative seeks to ensure that supportive ecosystems can cultivate the capacity to manage complex multi-stakeholder innovation processes, which are necessary to realize greater innovation within Europe's Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). These innovations will drive behavioral changes towards a greener, more inclusive (in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals), and more digital Europe.
