Widest range of activities in Spain

Jone Zubiaga

When we talk about creative industries in our centre, we follow the lines that European commission marked - we are speaking about sectors like photography, architecture, design, advertising, fashion, crafts, performing arts, radio, cinema, etc. - we cover the whole range of creative sectors. We are also very focused on education and culture.<br><br>Entrepreneurs here in Bilbao started with projects focused on local market but many of them have gone bigger and now they are working at international level. For example the company Anboto that was based in Bilbao and was named as the best startup in 2010 worldwide. Now they are working in San Francisco – they are developing application software to make mobile phones more friendly and useful for everybody. Another case is a company which started doing animation and video games and they evolved and developed their business and nowadays they’re working for Nintendo and they really are a strong company here in Bilbao.<br><br><b>Co.lab</b> was the first co-working space here in Bilbao, we opened it in 2010. At the beginning we didn’t have this project but we were lucky to find a big space that we could share with other people. We think that co-working is really interesting in terms of finding people that can help you with your project and can enrich you. Nowadays there are 3-4 other co-working spaces in the city - people are really using this idea. Anyway, we haven’t found any other association doing such a wide range of activities as a whole as Creativity Zentrum.The main activities that the Creativity Zentrum runs are trainings and courses for creative entrepreneurs. We also help them to create and to develop their own business, we are trying to find people that could fund their projects. We organize plenty of networking events where people can share their projects, show their works, talk about their talents, their needs and they can gain useful connections. &nbsp;&nbsp;
