Creative industry
Take a picture: cultural & creative industry in Saxony-Anhalt is a young, multifaceted and dynamic sector. Just like a painting emerges from dots and lines, creative minds are increasingly overlaying our state with a network of efficient companies.
So much for unprofitable Art!
Design, games, art, architecture, film and media: fantasies become reality here!
Magdeburg and Halle (Saale) are increasingly developing as urban centres. Their universities shape the creative landscape: thoughts on the Elbe River are flowing more towards software and games, and more towards the fields of media (the sector with the highest turnover), design and art on the Saale River. And there is a unique marketplace for service providers and customers at www.kreativ-sachsen-anhalt.de.
