INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS AND LOCAL SCENES
It is not by mere historical chance that the C'n'B – Creativity & Business Convention has established itself in Cologne. Cologne is not only the pleasant city of short distances but also the city of creative networking. Cologne is seen as the cradle of many developments in popular culture and has a leading position in Germany´s creative economy:
From the independent music scene to the major label EMI (which consists of approximately 5,200 single companies), from the great media institutions (TV broadcasters WDR and RTL) to the big production firms (among others Brainpool TV with Stefan Raab, I & U with Günther Jauch, etc.), from world-famous artists like Gerhard Richter or the pioneer of electronic music Karlheinz Stockhausen to world-famous creative events like Games.com, ArtCologne, imm Cologne and also Lit.Cologne – here in Cologne every creative potential falls onto fertile ground.
