The activities undertaken with partners and members enhance capabilities for achieving mutual goals. The ACA’s work is structured through four strategic pillars, each reinforcin`g the goal of establishing a dynamic, well-financed CCI ecosystem that enhances access to capital, scales creative businesses, and fosters long-term sustainability and economic growth.
