We are #ZLINREGION
Cultural and creative industries
The Zlin Region is a leader in cultural and creative fields.
Cultural and creative industries run deep here. We nurture creativity from childhood — creative fields are taught at secondary schools and can be continued at Tomas Bata University, where up to 17% of graduates come from these very disciplines. And this tradition runs deep: the Zlin Film Festival, founded back in 1961, is the oldest festival for children and young people in the world, drawing over 100,000 visitors every year today.
Since 2020, Cultural and Creative Industries have been a new area of specialization for the Zlin Region, complementing existing strengths such as engineering, plastics, and ICT. Come join them.
Live in Zlin!
