The Training Workshop on Creative and Cultural industries in the EUSAIR area - “Adriatic Start-up School” model, organized by the Forum of the Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce in collaboration with Durres Chamber of Commerce, will take place on November 21 in Tirana.

The Adriatic-Ionian region has great potential to develop competitive and innovative creative and cultural industries that would benefit a wide range of stakeholders in the AI Region. A better knowledge of the opportunities offered, together with a reinforced dialogue in the field of culture by identifying issues of common interest and sharing excellence and best practises to support artistic entrepreneurship, creative start-ups and contemporary art festivals, would enable the decision and policy-makers to propose better tools for the encouragement of job creation and employment.

The initiative will support the dialogue in the field of culture by identifying issues of common interest and sharing excellence and best practises to support artistic entrepreneurship, creative start-ups and contemporary art festivals.

The Training workshop will take place within a two-day Conference focused on EU Policies and EU Territorial Cooperation Opportunities, in the framework of the AI-NURECC initiative.
