Global Development

Nordicity has been engaged at the intersection of the creative economy and sustainable development on a global scale over the past four decades. Our team has a proven track record in scoping, developing, implementing, analyzing and evaluating programs, policies and practices. We work closely with clients and delivery partners to provide technical support and capacity building.
We lead and execute projects that strengthen the arts, culture and heritage sector as engines for economic growth, innovation, and community resilience. We support governments, institutions, and funders in developing policies that foster cultural sustainability and strengthen institutional capacity.

• Arts, Culture & Heritage: We help organizations, governments, and communities unlock creative potential and safeguard cultural and heritage assets through research, engagement, and the application of global best practices.
• Social Inclusion: We acknowledge systemic discrimination and are committed to addressing the distinct challenges faced by equity-deserving groups, including women, racialized people, 2SLGBTQI+ communities, and people with disabilities.
• Creative Economy: We foster economic resilience by assessing the economic impact of creative sectors, as well as supporting entrepreneurship, alternative financing, capacity building, and skills development – bridging global insights with local relevance.
• Sustainability: For over 40 years, we have advanced sustainable development through culture, recognizing its vital role in strengthening resilience and driving adaptation in communities around the world.
