What is ICIC?
The ICIC (Instituto Catalán de las Industrias Culturales, Catalonian Institute for Cultural Industries) is an institution under the Departamento de Cultura of Generalidad de Cataluña (Catalonian Department of Culture) that provides
support and services to Catalonian companies that produce, distribute and market cultural products and collaborate in promoting the consumption of such products.

Change is all around us. The digital era has blurred the limits between different cultural areas and has opened the door to new business models. With this in mind, ICIC will be promoting a series of actions under the brand ICIC 360º.

ICIC 360º is based on a cross section approach where the different players are interconnected and where contents are exploited across different platforms.
