“Towards a powerful cultural sector in digital times” – Flemish Government Vision Statement of 23 December 2022
The vision statement outlines the strategic directions for key digital players, namely meemoo, publiq, and Cultuurconnect, positioning themselves for the ongoing digitalization of the cultural sector. The focal point is the digital transformation of the cultural ecosystem, extending its reach to youth, media, sports, education, and local administration. Notably, the vision statement doesn’t provide a detailed strategic plan with specific solutions for implementing digital transformation in the cultural sector or adjusting the core players’ tasks. Instead, it offers a framework to inspire and expedite digitalization. Crucially, the document encourages collaboration beyond the core players, involving other cultural organizations, sectors, and government levels to achieve the memorandum’s objectives. The digital transformation of the cultural sector is portrayed as a collaborative effort, acknowledging the diverse roles played by various actors in this intricate process.
