Cultural Innovation
Culture and creativity are the engines of urban development!
Exciting projects, that connect culture, business, technology and science.
Why CULTURAL Innovation?
In the startup ecosystem NEXT MANNHEIM, culture and creativity shape the future of the city.
The CULTURAL INNOVATION OFFICE initiates, promotes and puts into practice sustainable urban cultural projects – in cooperation with cultural workers, artists, creative professionals, scientists and residents. These interdisciplinary projects are a driving force for innovation and are actively used for culture- and creativity-driven urban development.
CROSS-INNOVATION
At the points where culture, business, technology and science meet, the CULTURAL INNOVATION OFFICE develops innovative projects with a wide range of industrial partners. One example is the "Music & Medicine" project (photo at bottom-right). The project team including representatives of the University Hospital Mannheim, the Fraunhofer IPA and NEXT MANNHEIM, is working on improvements for patients and hospital staff through music and music technology in the fields of neurosurgery and oncology. Furthermore, the project "Creative Residency" (photo at bottom-left) integrates artistic thinking in entrepreneurial contexts.
PLACEMAKING
The CULTURAL INNOVATION OFFICE organises so-called placemaking projects, in which new uses of public space are developed together with citizens and various stakeholders. The focus is placed on artistic, creative and cultural interventions. An example of a sustainable placemaking project is the cultural conception and program for the Mannheim Multihalle.
NIGHT GOVERNANCE
A special focus is on the development of nightlife culture. The initialisation of the first Night Mayor in Germany created a mediating interface between operators, residents, administration and authorities in order to strengthen Mannheim's nightlife structurally and sustainably – and to proactively give new impulses.

HALTESTELLE FORTSCHRITT
How do you turn a scary place into a place of wellbeing? An innovative festival transformed the tram-stop Rheinstrasse into a place of progress.
