Growth Reimagined

British Council

Growth Reimagined offers a unique opportunity to experience the dynamic and forward-looking creative scene of the Western Balkans at its best, with vibrant Kotor as a hub for collaboration and exchange of experiences.

In partnership with BEYOND Studio from the UK, the British Council presents Growth Reimagined – a two-day program on the topic of the creative economy as part of the CIM Forum 2025, which takes place in Kotor from 29 to 30 May 2025. By gathering in one place experts from Great Britain, and the region of Greater Europe and the Western Balkans, we are creating a space for connecting and exchanging experiences among experts in the field of creative economy.

Topics such as digital influence and new technologies, entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as the redefinition of cultural spaces, will be explored through the prism of partnerships, emphasizing their role in creating new opportunities and solving challenges in the field of the creative economy.

Creative industries play a key role in creating new jobs, attracting investments and increasing exports, while at the same time contributing to the preservation of cultural heritage. Bringing together voices from the Greater Europe and Western Balkans region, including Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, alongside those from the UK, this event enables connections, encourages cross-border exchange and supports the sustainable growth of the creative industries.

Growth Reimagined is a platform for dialogue, exchange of knowledge and good practices with the aim of supporting the development and networking of the creative market of Greater Europe and the Western Balkans.
