The more-than 20,300 companies operating in Hessen’s cultural and creative sector generate revenue of approximately €14.8 billion every year.
Shaped by creative minds
Hessen is an incredibly unique location where the fast-paced world of ad agencies coexists next to the pulsating German clubbing scene, and where international pop music shares a common space with traditional Hessian folk music. A wide range of designers, architects, artists, and chefs choose to reside and pursue their livelihoods in Hessen.
The cultural and creative industry is closely intertwined with numerous economic sectors and undoubtedly benefits from overall economic growth. The products and services offered by the creative industry’s businesses constitute the cornerstone of their competitive prowess in the Germany-wide and international markets and are often the result of pioneering innovations that resonate far beyond the boundaries of this industry.
