Europe has the ideas. The challenge is helping the best ones scale. As hybrid realities blur the boundaries between physical and digital experience, new opportunities are opening up across the cultural and creative industries, especially in media, immersive experience and creative technology. The challenge is turning that momentum into ventures that can grow, compete and create value.
This session brings together European founders, funders and ecosystem builders to explore what it takes to build innovation and technology capabilities and connect them to funding, partnerships and market traction. Expect sharp takes, real examples, and a candid look at how creative ideas grounded in European values move from signal to scale.
The programme is curated by EIT Culture & Creativity, with support from the City of Amsterdam.
