The Future of Iran's Creative and Cultural Industries in the World

In today’s world, creative and cultural industries are no longer just a side sector; they are considered the main pillars of sustainable development and public diplomacy. Recognizing this reality, the Cultural and Creative Industries Foundation (CCIF) was established to serve as an international hub, connecting Iran’s creative industries to the world.

Our goal is more than a mere slogan; CCIF acts as a comprehensive roadmap, providing a purposeful framework for the Foundation’s policy-making and mission execution.

Three Missions, One Shared Goal ​

To achieve our vision, we pursue three key missions:

  1. Internationalization of Creative Businesses: The Foundation empowers creative professionals and companies, paving their way into global markets. From providing specialized consultation to designing international presence strategies, we take a step toward globalizing Iran’s creative economy.
  2. Cultural Diplomacy: We view culture as an effective tool for dialogue and synergy among nations. By creating communication networks and supporting joint international projects, we strive to present a dynamic and fresh image of Iran to the world.
  3. Development of Soft Technologies: In response to the rapid developments of the digital age, the Foundation focuses on promoting and developing soft technologies with a cultural approach. We support innovation in content production and the use of technological tools to enhance creative and cultural products on an international scale.

Our Core Values

In all our activities, we are committed to five key values that shape the Foundation’s identity:

  • Transparency: We consider transparency not a choice but a commitment. In all our interactions, goals and responsibilities are clearly defined.
  • Creative Diplomacy: We believe that through art, one can build bridges of communication and strengthen cross-cultural understanding and participation.
  • Cultural and Technological Innovation: To us, technology is a platform for recreating the cultural experience.
  • Global Empowerment: Success in global markets requires knowledge and resources. The Foundation smooths this path through training, consultation, and capital attraction.
  • Mutual Respect and Cultural Diversity: Every culture in the world is a unique story of human life. We enrich ourselves by embracing this diversity.
