With a comprehensive and future-focused mandate, ΕΚΚΟΜΕΔ serves as a strategic hub for policy design, international promotion, and sustainable development across the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIS).

Its mission is to strengthen and protect the Greek audiovisual and creative ecosystem, while actively promoting its presence on the global stage. ΕΚΚΟΜΕΔ supports both domestic growth and international investment in the film and media industries, fostering a competitive and outward-looking environment for creators, professionals, and institutions alike.

Innovation is at the core of its strategic orientation. The organization encourages theintegration of new digital technologies across all stages of audiovisual production and distribution and advances the use of modern digital tools for the promotion of Greek cultural content. ΕΚΚΟΜΕΔ also supports research and development across these fields, ensuring that Greece remains at the forefront of creative innovation.
