How it works

Real work.
Real projects.
Human connection.

Format

Two online sessions and one working session in Düsseldorf per month.

Each cycle moves through three stages: meet the people and the work, review and select projects, then build together in Düsseldorf.

Show & Tell — Online

Members present their work, skills, and workflows. A space to show what you're building — and find who you could build it with.

Project Review — Online

Ideas and active projects are presented, discussed, and voted on. The collective decides what moves forward and who joins.

Working Session — Düsseldorf

Selected projects come to life. Teams form, build, test, and review together — in person.

What we provide

Space, tools, visibility, project development, peer feedback, human connection, and ecosystem mapping — for the Creative AI Industries.

Why now

Creative Industries Disrupted.

AI is no longer a future signal for the creative industries. It is already changing who can produce, collaborate, prototype and scale creative work. Creative AI Mastermind brings creators, studios, agencies, companies, and institutions around this shift — turning new creative capacity into projects, skills, visibility, and business opportunity.

Paradigm shift

Creative production is no longer limited to traditional structures.

Creative AI Industries

New tools, workflows, and skills are changing how creative work gets made.

Project-based work

Ideas move faster when creators, studios, agencies, and institutions build together.

A new kind of professional

Creative. Technical. Strategic. Collaborative. AI-native.

Creative AI Radar

We track what matters.

From events, fairs, and exhibitions, to upskilling programs offered across NRW, to funding from regional institutions, Germany, and Europe — and the job market for those building a career in the Creative AI Industries.
