Designed for Higher Education Institutions, students, start-ups and stakeholders across the Cultural and Creative Industries, the platform will support the exchange of knowledge and practical collaboration across the CreaTech ecosystem. The platform will combine a repository of educational resources with collaboration and knowledge exchange spaces. Users will be able to discover learning materials, case studies, best practices, templates and practical guides addressing areas such as cultural entrepreneurship, digital transformation, sustainable practices, business development and cross-sector collaboration.

For HEIs, the platform will provide materials that can support teaching, institutional capacity building and knowledge exchange. Start-ups and prospective entrepreneurs will be able to access practical resources, relevant opportunities and connections within the wider innovation ecosystem. Cultural organisations, creative businesses, mentors and other CCI actors will also be able to explore curated knowledge and participate in selected collaborative and community activities. 

By bringing project resources and communities together, the platform is intended to make CreaTech’s outputs easier to access, reuse and apply beyond individual activities and to provide a basis for continued knowledge exchange beyond the project’s funding period. 

Stay tuned for further updates as the platform moves through development, testing and deployment.
