Here are the details of the four thematic tracks at this year’s CIMIx:

Creativity needs more than ideas - it needs the right financial ecosystem to thrive. This track is all about turning artistic vision into sustainable success. Discover how to fund your next big idea through public programmes, private investors, or impact-driven models. Learn how to speak the language of finance without losing your creative spark, build partnerships that back your vision, and bring creative ideas to life - sustainably and with impact.

Change is the new constant - and creativity is the key to unlocking its potential. This track is designed for creative companies that see transformation as an opportunity: to rethink business models, innovate processes, and drive sustainable growth.

Be inspired by pioneers who are reimagining their businesses with courage, agility, and design thinking. Learn how creative strategies can help you stay successful in a fast-changing world - innovative, connected, and future-ready.

When creativity meets industry, innovation happens.
