About the Centre
The International Center for Creative Economy and Business Diplomacy (ICCEBD) fosters cooperation among business, creative, scientific and expert communities in different countries.
We work to establish direct professional contacts, prepare joint initiatives and find practical ways to cooperate internationally.
ICCEBD works in the creative industries, business diplomacy, education, science, culture and technology. These fields are closely connected, as international projects often call for expertise from several sectors.
One of the Centre’s first practical results was the international panel “BRICS+ Creative Industries: From Idea to International Production and Market”, held on 30 October 2026 in St. Petersburg as part of the VIII IMBRICS Forum. ICCEBD co-organised the panel.

Areas of work
ICCEBD works across five areas. They guide the focus of current projects and future international initiatives.
Creative economy and culture
Developing professional cooperation in film, animation, digital media and other creative industries. Exploring opportunities for co-production, cultural exchange and bringing creative projects to international markets.
Business and business diplomacy
Connecting entrepreneurs, companies and sector organisations in different countries. Preparing business meetings and discussing specific opportunities for cooperation.
Education and science
Fostering professional dialogue among education, scientific and expert communities. Exploring possibilities for joint programmes, research and the exchange of experience.
Technology and digital cooperation
Exploring how digital tools and new technologies can support international projects, including work in the creative industries and production cooperation.
Dialogue and partnerships
Organising professional meetings and discussions on specific topics, with particular attention to following up on initiatives that emerge from these events.
03 / Strategy
International development strategy
ICCEBD is considering ways to expand international cooperation through national initiatives and a network of partners linked by agreements.
The model is still being developed. Its organisational principles, membership and procedures for cooperation will take shape as the necessary documents are prepared and agreements are reached.
National initiatives
Developing cooperation with interested organisations and professional communities in different countries, taking into account national circumstances, participants’ interests and specific areas of cooperation.
ICCEBD Global Network
One option under consideration is a future international network based on agreements among legally independent participants who share common principles and work on joint projects.
International Charter
A draft Charter is being drawn up to set out the basic principles of cooperation among participants in the future network.
The document is still in preparation and has yet to be adopted.
04 / Projects

Media Gate BRICS
Media Gate BRICS aims to develop practical cooperation among companies and creative teams from different countries.
The project envisages ways to find partners, organise co-productions, agree on contract terms and intellectual property rights, and enter international markets.
An interactive Media Gate BRICS prototype was presented at the VIII IMBRICS Forum in St. Petersburg on 30 October 2026. A hypothetical international production project illustrated how partners from Brazil and India could work together at each stage.
The team continues to develop practical use cases, the partnership model and the project’s organisational mechanisms.
