The Interreg IVB project ‘Creative City Challenge’ (duration from 01.09.2009 to 30.11.2012) focuses on the promotion of creative sector enterprises in the following areas:
- Music

- Art/Art Market
- Theatre
- Dance
- Film
- Broadcasting
- Design (product, fashion, graphic and communication design)
- Architecture
- Public Relations/Media

The project ‘Creative City Challenge’ analyses challenges and barriers confronting the creative sector in the North Sea Region.
The analysis aims to develop an effective strategy supported by a range of instruments and methods which would help sustainably support the creative industries in the North Sea Region. The goal of the project is to create competitive, innovation-based urban and regional economies in the North Sea Region, in line with the objectives of the EU Lisbon Agenda 2000. ‘Creative City Challenge’ is a transnational collaboration. The project partners come from 10 cities and 6 countries. They comprise representatives of the public services, academic institutions and industry. The collaboration relies on intensive exchanges between the project partners and partner cities as well as stakeholders from all sectors of the creative industry. |

Toolkit: policy measures and applications |
|
This ‘Toolkit’ presents the outcomes of the North Sea Region INTERREG IVB project Creative City Challenge (CCC). Its main target group are local and regional policy-makers. It therefore aims
- to identity levers that policy-makers can pull in order to stimulate creative city development or the creative economy in a focused (rather than generic) way;
- to indicate constraints and points of attention policy-makers should take into account.

Creative City Challenge on the road! |
|
 Our film team is on it's way. On Sunday, 6th of May 2012, Dialog PR started its trip up North to visit our CCC partners in Gothenburg. This is the first station, where Dialog PR is going to film and interview not only the colleagues from TILLT, but various stakeholders from Creative Industries. The outcome will be a Travelling Exhibition in the best sense of the word: Not only films for each beneficiary and one mash-up will be produced, but the journey to various cities, partners and best practices will be documented in a Road Movie Diary to be seen on You Tube, on a blog and last but not least on facebook.

Creative City Challenge Final Conference: Creating Space |
|
20 September 2012, Groningen, The Netherlands
In the creative sector, cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing have always been powerful catalysts of innovation. So one can argue about the role of the creative industries in cross-sectoral knowledge transfer and therefore in the innovation ecosystem, in smart and sustainable growth.
With project partners from the EU North Sea Region Hamburg, Bremen, Oldenburg, Kortrijk, Høje-Taastrup, Göteborg, Dundee, Newcastle, Delft and Groningen much work has been carried out in developing and exchanging expertise and experience in the field of creative knowledge clusters, hotspots/incubators, entrepreneurship and transnational networks. Time for sharing and debating!

Creating Space - Creative City Challenge, final conference |
|
 20 September 2012, Groningen, The Netherlands
On 20 September 2012, the Municipality of Groningen organized the final conference of the European project entitled Creative City Challenge (CCC).
With our partners from the North Sea region – Hamburg, Bremen, Oldenburg, Kortrijk, Høje-Taastrup, Göteborg, Dundee, Newcastle and Delft – much work has been carried out in developing and exchanging knowledge and experience in the field of creative knowledge clusters, hotspots, etc.
The conference was held in the rising creative urban area of Groningen: the Ebbingekwartier (Ebbinge Quarter). There, the grounds of the former Gas Factory have been given a temporary layout and access routes. The 'Open Lab Ebbinge', which is a component of this creative zone, functions as a new breeding ground for the creative economy and forms a practical laboratory for new types of interim architecture, urban planning and new environments for creative entrepreneurship and the mingling of ideas. A living lab for open innovation.
