About the Partners

The collaboration between INI-Novation and Budakov Films began in 2018 with the successful launch of the Erasmus+ co-funded project “CreatINNES” (Project No: 2018-1-DE02-KA202-005232). Since then, the two organizations have fostered a strong and dynamic partnership, continuously building on the achievements of their joint initiatives. Both partners face similar challenges in the rapidly evolving Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) but bring complementary strengths to the table. Their expertise in AI-driven innovation, education, and digital transformationallows them to effectively address industry needs, ensuring impactful and forward-thinking solutions in every project they undertake.

As a freelance graphic designer, this project is exactly what I needed to understand how to use AI tools legally and ethically while enhancing my creative work.

"Navigating AI regulations has always been a challenge, but this Erasmus+ project provides clear guidance, helping me integrate AI into my creative business without compliance worries."

This EU initiative is a game-changer for freelancers like me, offering practical knowledge on AI that empowers creativity while ensuring we stay within EU legal frameworks."
