Resources for governanace, management and impact
Mimeta has a history of independent work in close collaboration with Norwegian authorities, contributing to policy development in the foreign cultural field. Mimeta actively partnered with like-minded European and American organisations within philanthropy, international development, and cultural institutes. By providing early financial support to promising regional organisations, Mimeta has fostered long-term relationships and gained credibility in this field.
The flexibility and independence have allowed Mimeta to navigate successfully between European government organisations, larger donor organisations, and cultural institutes while maintaining a strong presence in the field. Mimeta possesses valuable insights into different funding environments and is familiar with political processes at national and international levels. The well-established brand and attention are a result of our long history and comprehensive understanding of the sector.
In 2022, Mimeta expanded its portfolio to include media partners and initiated targeted efforts to support organisations working specifically on artist protection. This decision resulted from Mimeta's established role in the field of artistic rights internationally. To further develop its mission and position, Mimeta opened for wider financial support than solely the ministry. From its well-established, international position, Mimeta had the potential to become a facilitator of specific initiatives related to cultural rights that require additional funding, structure, and attention.
