about cbn

Here, we celebrate and champion the creative industries — a unique tribe of innovative disruptors aiming to change the world and impact the global economy and global culture.

We cover all the stories that influence the creative economy — the people, places, and trends that have meaning to this sector. While we do this through highly inclusive startup competitions throughout the year and around the globe, we now bring you daily stories and articles to make you smarter and
more successful.

If you’re a creative, an investor, a leader, or a startup we aim to unite the community right here. Welcome to this unique spot for those interested in creative sectors to gather, share ideas, and have conversations. Our goal is to help you succeed or, at least, to inspire you to greatness.

Our mission

Creative Business Network (CBN) aims to create a deep and unique experience for readers/audience/attendees and competitions involving the people, personalities, pitfalls and passion of the global startup tribe.

Creative Business Network is a constant, dynamic source of information and inspiration around the creative industry. Our theory is that although we still host an annual Creative Business Cup competition, we need to get together every day to champion creativity. That’s why we’ve created a network of stories, advisors, investors, profiles, experts, mentors, webinars and podcasts. We want to be the go-to source for all things creative – and we’re pretty confident that our team is well qualified to be that.

Under Creative Business Network, we have various events and initiatives
supporting the global creative economy.You can read more under ‘Partners’.
