Cartoon
Connecting animation professionals through curated events and European collaboration
Who we are
CARTOON is an international non-profit association based in Brussels whose mission is to support the animation industry. Founded in 1988, the organisation focuses on creating year-round opportunities for animation professionals to meet, exchange and develop their projects. CARTOON operates with a European outlook and benefits from co-funding by the Creative Europe - MEDIA Programme.
Core activities
At the heart of CARTOON’s work is the organisation of several types of events dedicated to animation professionals. These events are designed to:
Facilitate networking and collaboration between creators, producers and industry stakeholders.
Create marketplaces and professional forums where projects can find partners and visibility.
Host presentations, panels and focused sessions that address the practical challenges of production, financing and distribution.
Approach and methodology
CARTOON approaches its mission with a professional, inclusive and industry-driven mindset. By curating a varied programme across the calendar year, the association ensures that animation professionals encounter relevant formats and moments for exchange—whether that be large gatherings, targeted sessions or open networking opportunities. The organisation’s work is shaped by close listening to the sector’s needs and by maintaining strong links with European funding mechanisms.
Value proposition and differentiators
As an international non-profit rooted in Brussels, CARTOON combines a long-standing institutional presence (since 1988) with a practical commitment to the animation community. The combination of year-round events, a European funding partnership and a focus exclusively on animation gives CARTOON a clear and specialised role: it convenes the right people at the right moments to advance creative projects and professional relationships.

StoryWe started CARTOON in Brussels with a clear, simple belief: animation deserves a strong professional ecosystem. Since 1988 we have worked as an international non-profit association to connect creators, producers and industry specialists through a year-round programme of events. Our days are spent designing gatherings where ideas, projects and partnerships can grow—panels, marketplaces and pitch sessions that respond to the real needs of animation professionals. Being co-funded by the Creative Europe - MEDIA Programme allows us to maintain a European perspective while remaining practical and hands-on. We’re proud to be a persistent presence for the animation community: convening, listening and adapting so the industry can thrive together.
