The main objectives of the CWF24 were:
- Update the new trends in governance and innovation in the CCIs
- Create local and international collaboration environments based on sharing value-added projects.
- Energize the DC Network itself based on a CWF model that facilitates the identification and support of projects with high potential for collaboration at an international level. To achieve this change in model, the participation of the Cultural and Creative Districts of the DC Network is essential.
