The third issue of the CreaTech project newsletter highlights key milestones achieved across the consortium within the Capacity Building Programme, Knowledge Labs, and the Start-Up Booster Programme, confirming the project’s growing impact in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI).
Among the highlights, the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) is recognised for leading Work Package 3, delivering four structured capacity-building modules focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, digital storytelling, sustainability and social impact, and soft skills development for higher education institutions.
AAB College, leading Work Package 4, reports strong engagement in its Knowledge Lab activities, which provide practice-oriented training and mentoring for students working at the intersection of creativity, technology, and business development.
The newsletter also features EMUNI University’s leading role in the Start-Up Booster Programme, supporting early-stage CCI start-ups across Albania, Kosovo, Greece, Slovenia, and the United Kingdom. The first pilot cohort, launched on 27 October 2025, guides participants through idea validation, business development, and pitching, with outcomes feeding into future programme cycles.
Further updates from implementing universities, including the University of Tirana and the University of Bedfordshire, demonstrate how CreaTech activities are being embedded across partner institutions, strengthening skills, entrepreneurship, and innovation capacity at European level.
