Barcelona Unveils Catalan Digital Creation Hub as Provisional Operations Begin

The effort targets stronger Catalan use online through tailored support for digital creators.

Overview

  • The city presented the Casa de la Creació Digital en Català to roughly 200 sector attendees at Palo Alto, inviting creators to help shape its services.
  • The hub will back Catalan-language content with training, project incubation, co‑working space, studio and tech access, and legal and administrative guidance.
  • Activities start provisionally at Barcelona Activa’s Convent in Ciutat Vella, with a move to a permanent ground-floor site at Illa Glòries planned during 2026.
  • Funding totals €3 million across 2026–2027, allocated as €1.5 million each year, with full operation expected in 2026.
  • The project originates from an ERC proposal folded into a PSCERC budget pact, with partners including Barcelona Activa, 3Cat, Betevé and Accent Obert.
