Network & Service
Membership
Networking, information and services for Styrian creative industries, staggered and individually tailored: The membership program of Creative Industries Styria offers a suitable package for every company. The tiered membership model of Creative Industries Styria, consisting of free members, full members and premium members, offers services for creative companies that are tailored to the size of the company and the needs of individual creative professionals. These offers include an electronic newsletter, invitations to events, information on calls and competitions, and participation in Creative Industries Styria initiatives that take place both online and offline. In 2021, Creative Industries Styria once again intensified its focus on consult-

ing services. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact remained a critical issue to consult on in 2021. To support its members, Creative Industries Styria provided valuable information about aid measures, subsidies and support allowances – bundled and clearly structured. The video interview format Creative Voice, which gives creative companies a platform to speak on their current situation, was expanded and a separate podcast was set up, while “Shop Local Buy Local” focuses on regional buying behavior and creates awareness of value chains, especially in times of crisis. On July 9, 2021, the Full Members and Premium Members were invited to the Member Networking Event in the Garden of Wonders of the newly designed GrazMuseum Schlossberg.
