Community
Innovation ecosystems are built by people.
This is where you meet them.
ekip works on innovation policy for the cultural and creative industries. Policy does not implement itself. It moves through people — the civil servant redrafting a funding call, the cluster manager holding a dozen organisations together, the artist working inside a research lab, the official trying to explain a creative economy to a finance ministry.

THE NEW EDITION
THE JOBS TAKING SHAPE
See how change across Europe’s creative industries is reshaping work, creating new roles, practices and skills.
Innovation ecosystems keep inventing roles that did not exist five years ago and do not yet have job descriptions. This series describes the emerging work — the translating, brokering and holding-together that ecosystems turn out to depend on — and what it will take to support it.
