New Avenues of Cooperation in Creative Industries
EU–GCC online webinar · Thursday, 29 October 2026 · 13:00–14:00
For Cyprus companies working in or alongside the cultural and creative industries, this EU–GCC webinar offers a timely look at practical opportunities for cross-border business cooperation and access to GCC markets.
Organised as part of the EU–GCC Dialogue on Economic Diversification II, it is the third webinar in a reflection series following the 9th EU–GCC Business Forum held in Kuwait in 2025.
International creative-economy expertise and entrepreneurial perspectives from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia will inform a discussion on the conditions creative enterprises need to grow and work across markets. Topics include:
- Trade, market access, distribution and business partnerships
- Protecting, managing and commercialising intellectual property
- Suitable funding, finance and investment, including cross-border opportunities
The discussion will consider how closer EU–GCC cooperation can support creative businesses, strengthen sector ecosystems and help enterprises pursue commercial partnerships and investment opportunities. Cyprus companies exploring connections with GCC counterparts may find the session useful for understanding the business priorities and enabling conditions involved.
