The project aimed to create innovative clusters where cultural engines—such as heritage, values, traditions, and cultural processes—interacted with value-enhancing services, including incubators, financial services, and public policies, to support creative industries. SMATH developed a CCI MED Cluster with regional and local hubs designed to help creative industries source and develop innovative ideas derived from cultural engines, fostering collaboration and growth within the sector.
