Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Baden-Württemberg play a fundamental role as innovation enabler, via strong connections with other technology areas and especially the creative industries. The region is a hotbed of creative hearts and minds across all sectors. Be it music, film, art, design, architecture or publishing, it is all there. This creativity blends with the region's excellence in ICT. A major event that stands for this unique mix is the "fmx" annual international conference which takes place in Stuttgart. Being one of Europe's leading events for digital creation in animation, effects, games and postproduction, the conference attracts visitors and speakers from all over the world. Baden-Württemberg is also Germany’s most important centre for the printing and publishing industry. 730 of Germany’s 4,400 publishing companies are located in Baden-Württemberg. Over 30% of the 9,000 magazines on sale in Germany are published here.
