Istria County (Croatia) participates as a project partner in the SOCRAT project (Interreg Italy–Croatia 2021–2027).
Through activities focused on connecting contemporary art, traditional crafts, and local communities, it contributes to the development of sustainable and cultural tourism along the Croatian Adriatic coast.
Within the project, it implements Creative Living Labs, takes part in the preparation of strategic and development documents, and contributes to the organization of cross-border events and exhibitions, with the aim of strengthening the cultural and creative industries in Istria.
In today’s business environment, cultural heritage is no longer merely a guardian of the past – it is one of the most valuable resources for the future. For creative entrepreneurs, artists, and associations, the path from an idea to sustainable operations often depends on two key components: visibility beyond local boundaries and access to the right funding information.
