#SDECE25 - Strategic Dialogue on European Creative Economy and Cultural Autonomy

The European creative economy, contributing over 4% of the EU’s GDP and employing nearly 12 million people, is a vital force for innovation, cultural expression, and economic growth. As digital transformation and global shifts reshape the sector, ECBN/CreativeFED are launching a Strategic Dialogue on the European Creative Economy to engage policymakers, creatives, and stakeholders in shaping future EU policies. This high-level roundtable, taking place in Brussels and will convene government, industry, academia, and civil society to discuss strategies that foster innovation, protect intellectual property, and reinforce Europe’s creative leadership.

Join us in discussing and shaping the future of the European creative economy by opening the this Strategic Industry Dialogue on the European Creative Economy and about European Cultural Autonomy. Your voice and expertise are vital to building a resilient, innovative, and democratic Europe. Be part of the Strategic Dialogue in Brussels on June 4th, 2025, and help chart a bold course for culture and creativity in the next EU policy cycle.
