A strong CreaTech ecosystem
Danish createch is seeing continuous growth, and the global demand for creative digital products is increasing. At the same time, createch innovation is also moving jobs and createch solutions from the traditional entertainment sector to other sectors, making it a relevant player for governments and the business community in general, e.g. in the energy sector, health sector and industrial sector.
An important actor on the Danish createch scene is Vision Denmark. Vision Denmark is a business cluster for digital content producing companies within games, film, television, animation and XR. The cluster connects the ecosystem across Denmark to create innovation and growth in the digital visual industry.
You will also find Creative Denmark, a public-private partnership that creates awareness about Danish creative strongholds internationally.
