The ThinkPub Project: Advancing the European Publishing Space
The ThinkPub project is designed to help the European publishing space adapt to the evolving demands of the digital age. Set to officially launch its website in 2025, ThinkPub will serve as a dynamic hub for industry professionals, providing essential tools and insights to navigate a rapidly changing market. With digital transformation reshaping how books are created, distributed, and consumed, the project seeks to empower stakeholders with the knowledge and resources needed to embrace innovation while preserving the richness of European literary traditions.
Bringing together international partners from publishing, technology, trade fairs, and other key sectors of the literary world, the program fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing. It offers resources aimed at strengthening key competencies—helping publishers and authors better understand market trends and respond effectively to emerging challenges. By facilitating connections between industry experts, ThinkPub creates opportunities for cross-border cooperation, encouraging a more unified and resilient publishing ecosystem.
The platform will feature five key content categories, covering:
📌 Innovation in management and marketing – exploring new business models and digital strategies.
📌 New technologies shaping publishing – from AI-assisted content creation to interactive storytelling.
📌 Translation and multilingualism – addressing the challenges and opportunities of a diverse European readership.
📌 Reading habits and audience preferences – analysing shifting consumer behaviours in an era of digital content.
📌 Sustainability in the literary sector – promoting environmentally friendly practices and long-term industry growth.
With a strong focus on long-term sustainability, job creation in publishing, and enhancing the visibility of books in the digital age, ThinkPub aims to make a lasting impact on the industry. By equipping professionals with cutting-edge insights, the project not only supports adaptation to technological advancements but also encourages a thriving literary culture that remains accessible and relevant to modern audiences.
As we approach the official website launch in 2025, we invite industry professionals, literary enthusiasts, and digital innovators to join us in shaping the future of European publishing. Stay tuned for updates, expert content, and exclusive opportunities to participate in this transformative initiative.
