Clúster Audiovisual de Canarias

What Clúster Audiovisual de Canarias does

Clúster Audiovisual de Canarias is a non-profit industry association (Asociación CLAC) founded in 2010 and headquartered in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. It functions as the sole official representative body for the audiovisual sector in the Canary Islands, aggregating 125+ member companies and professionals spanning production, animation, VFX, equipment rental, post-production, legal/fiscal advisory, training institutions, and seven regional Film Commissions. The organization operates with a small team (comité ejecutivo plus equipo técnico) and is supported institutionally by the Gobierno de Canarias and Cabildo de Gran Canaria.

The cluster's service offering centers on member representation, networking, informational sessions, and three structured programs: (i) internationalization programs managed in collaboration with Proexca, including organized market missions; (ii) CIDE-certified innovation and business development support; and (iii) thought-leadership research, exemplified by the 2025 study on AI adoption in the regional audiovisual sector produced with Mundos Digitales. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues and service fees, supplemented by public institutional funding; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The cluster does not develop or sell technology products and does not maintain proprietary software, APIs, or AI models. Its strategic value lies in coordinating actors across the archipelago's audiovisual value chain and channeling public incentives, financing (e.g., ICO), and internationalization opportunities to members. The cluster is GDPR compliant under EU Regulation 2016/679 and Spanish LOPDGDD.
