Join us for two days of innovation, creation, and knowledge when we bring together creative businesses and everyone with a passion for entrepreneurship and innovation – from all over the world.
We connect, empower & inspire!
June 28-30 2021 in Copenhagen
This year, 2021, BRIGHT will be organized online, which provides the great opportunity that people from all over the world will be able to join us – without any travel expenses. Hence, we expect to see more participants than ever before! This year, we will also have even more startups than usual as both the winners from the national Creative Business Cups anno 2020 and 2021 will be pitching online at the Global Finals during eBRIGHT.
BRIGHT is for anyone interested in how to strengthen the cultural and creative industries and how these sectors can contribute to innovative solutions in all parts of society – not least to sustainable development.
We focus on the creative professions, because they are the future. Their ideas and their ability to transform traditional sectors and establish relations across languages and borders are key to many of tomorrow’s global challenges.
BRIGHT offers unique networking opportunities across sectors and borders. You will meet creative minds, startups, companies, investors and opinion-makers from all over the world.
The program highlights the latest trends, innovations, and developments in the cultural and creative industries and presents top relevant panel discussions, workshops, and keynotes.
Furthermore, you will experience the Global Finals of the world’s only global competition for creative startups, Creative Business Cup, where startups from 75+ countries come to Copenhagen to network and pitch in front of a live jury, competing to become no. 1 creative startup of the year.
Sign up to our newsletter to stay tuned on the program and BRIGHT speakers.
What really drives me to come back here is seeing the passion that people bring to bear in terms of their concepts, their ideas and their innovation from all over the world

The startups, investors, and jurors will open your mind to new ideas and new possibilities that will change the way you think. This event will help you understand that creativity is not just art — it’s everything you do in business, in leadership, and in life.
