About
A collective for the creative industries building with AI.
We make the creative AI scene in NRW easy to find, and show what each member can really do.
What we do
Creative AI Mastermind is a platform and a collective in Düsseldorf for designers, filmmakers, strategists, builders, producers and operators who work with AI. Two questions sit at its center.
What exists?
The AI Radar and AI Funding bring NRW's events, courses, funding programmes and jobs into one place, each linked to its source.
What can you do, and who complements your skills?
The AI Graph maps a person's languages, education, professions, skills, tools, AI models and deliverables.
Who it is for
Our scope is the whole German cultural and creative economy: film and TV, games, music, design, advertising, marketing and communications, architecture, press and publishing, books, performing arts, visual arts, software and creative tech, and creative education. General enterprise AI is out.
