We connect creativity, education, business and investment to create international partnerships that generate lasting cultural and economic value.

From developing cultural and educational projects to building strategic partnerships and attracting investment, Culture Connect Vienna brings together the people, ideas and resources needed to turn opportunities into sustainable projects.

We identify opportunities, develop concepts and create strategies that connect cultural vision with economic and institutional perspectives.

We bring together artists, institutions, businesses, investors and decision-makers across disciplines, sectors and countries.

We turn ideas and partnerships into concrete projects – from concept development and financing to implementation and international expansion.

Culture Connect Vienna is led by Marcus Ratka, cultural entrepreneur, musician and founder of internationally oriented cultural and educational initiatives, including a private music university in Vienna.

Building on decades of experience in culture, education and international project development, CCV combines an extensive network with entrepreneurial thinking and hands-on implementation. We work across institutional and national boundaries to connect the right people, develop new opportunities and build partnerships designed to last.
