Background: Kreativ-Transfer (Creative Transfer)
The aim of the Kreativ-Transfer funding programme is to support professionals in the fields of games, the performing arts and visual arts in establishing and expanding their international networks to improve their visibility on the international market. The programme supports the necessary international marketing and networking measures as well as the corresponding training and professionalisation of the stakeholders.
In particular, Kreativ-Transfer supports participation in international fairs and festivals, enabling artists, creatives and their representatives to present their work, make new contacts and find co-producers and clients.
Note: Visits to international events will continue to be funded even in times of pandemics, political crises, wars or similar circumstances, provided that the recommendations of public authorities in Germany and the destination country allow the related travel to be undertaken.
In addition, the programme supports strategic projects for international marketing, networking and professionalisation.
In implementing this funding, the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland cooperates with the game – the German Games Industry Association and transmissions GmbH.
