We are a team from the Department of Strategic Development and Cooperation of the Brno City Hall. We strive to make Brno an environment where creativity flourishes. We want to support creativity in various ways, so that creators are not limited in their efforts by obstacles and that they develop not only themselves, but also Brno and the surrounding region. One of the projects that will enable the development of creativity in Brno is the building of the Creative center. We also motivate creative creators through financial support, we cooperate with JIC and the KUMST creative hub, business sectors, CzechTrade, CzechInvest, CzechDesign, ministries, cultural institutions, and cities within the framework of international cooperation. We also support events and promotion of creative and cultural industries.

Since 2017, we have been following a comprehensive strategy which was developed with the input of many Brno experts and working groups. It defines the vision, values, and goals of supporting the cultural and creative industries. Our efforts run in synergy with the implementation of the city’s main strategic document #brno2050. The document “Culture and Creative Industries Strategy of the City of Brno” is followed up by continuously created action plans that propose specific measures to meet the defined objectives.
