IMZ with Digital Cross Over at Ars Electronica

The online panel “Business Models for Online Contents” investigated how platform-based access to online content can be monetised. The programme was part of the Digital Cross Over project led by the IMZ + co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme!

Ars Electronica – the Festival for Art, Technology + Society takes place from 9-13 Sept, for the first time at 120 locations worldwide!

Online Panel: Business Models for Online Contents
As part of Digital Cross Over, the cross-sector project between the content + creative industries led by the IMZ, this panel at Ars Electronica will discuss strategies for institutions to generate revenues in cultural + creative industries and to secure revenue for artists + content developers. Crowdfunding, licences + subscription models are just a few!

The subject is even more relevant in times of Covid-19, which is forcing players in the cultural + creative industries to rethink their business models.

Ars Electronica is one of the consortium members coming of different sectors leading the Digital Cross Over project.
