Innovate Cultural and Creative Industries through NFTs
The project
Pixel -NFTs for Cultural and Creative Industries is a Small Scale Cooperation Partnership in vocational education and training sector (KA210-VET) funded under the Erasmus+ Programme.
In order to compete in a fast changing Europe it is necessary that Culture and Creative Industries unlock new opportunities provided by digital transformation and access to a global audience.
In particular, the emerging blockchain technology can greatly contribute to making Culture and Creative Industries stronger and more resilient, by improving their innovation, business opportunities and growth.
The use of blockchain provides Culture and Creative Sectors with new means for protecting their intellectual property, increasing artists’ bargaining power for fairer remuneration and easing the payment processes across the board.
Thanks to blockchain, NFTs let creators easily mint and copyright their work, listing it for sale on open marketplaces. NFTs have welcomed a thriving resale market, offering a golden opportunity for creators to earn income from their assets forever, anytime their work is resold.
The project wants to innovate the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) in partner countries, supporting business creation, innovation and growth by taking advantage of blockchain technology and in particular NFTs.
