ecce – About us

11

The european centre for creative economy (ecce) stems from RUHR.2010 – the first European Capital of Culture the cultural and creative economy has come to accept as an essential pillar of its programme and part of cultural diversity.

In 2011 the land of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Regionalverband Ruhr decided that ecce and Wirtschaftsförderung metropoleruhr (wmr) were to continue the support of cultural and creative industries in the framework of the sustainability agreement of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2012. They were to create a “strategic framework” so that the development of cultural and creative industries “could become an example of regional change under local responsibility”.

ecce is highly committed to directly supporting the actors from the cultural creative economy as well as the development of creative quarters in the Ruhr Region.

At the end of 2011, the ecce GmbH located at the Dortmund U was formed by the city of Dortmund. In June 2013, more shareholders will join: Essen, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Oberhausen and Duisburg as well as the Regional Association Ruhr.
