The CreaTech project, implemented under the EIT Higher Education Institutions (HEI) Initiative, is contributing to the development of a distributed innovation ecosystem for Europe’s Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs).
As part of this effort, the EMUNI research team successfully prepared the Start-Up Booster Program (Deliverable D6.1) during the summer of 2025. Designed in late July and early August, the programme offers tailored mentoring, hands-on training, and networking opportunities to young creative entrepreneurs. This initiative reflects EMUNI’s mission to foster intercultural dialogue and sustainable development through research excellence and innovation.
CreaTech has been disseminated internationally at two scientific conferences: the MakeLearn, TIIM & PIConf Conference (21–24 May 2025, Bangkok, and EM-HERI 12–13 June 2025, Piran), strengthening the project’s visibility and collaboration opportunities across the CCIs.
From 10 to 30 October 2025, a consortium workshop under Work Package 3 will train mentors and support staff. The training will focus on guiding entrepreneurial teams through business development, conducting structured milestone reviews, and connecting them with the right support and financing instruments to strengthen their growth journey.
