ICNM strives to evoke awareness for the creative use of digital technologies to solve challenges, with national networks and representations in all 27 EU member countries.
Through the award systems and its aligned activities, ICNM has created mutually reinforcing, active networks and a platform of over 13.000 members, aligned in the spirit of positive change and future oriented content driven solutions, fostering, and enabling transnational cooperation and citizen engagement. These strong, multi-stakeholder networks are managed with a low threshold, to encourage solidarity and active transnational collaboration and advancement in the EU and beyond.
ICNM uses global awards and activities to select and promote good practice solutions in digital innovation with positive impact on society. The awards, programs and interactive event formats allow participants to gain knowledge, demonstrate their achievements & attain growth, and promote and present European best practices in digital creativity and content to the wider public.
