Representing Albania, Greece, Kosovo, Slovenia, and the United Kingdom, the cohort reflects the diversity of Europe's cultural and creative ecosystem—from fashion entrepreneurship and digital education to AI-driven creative technologies and innovation in business services. During the programme, all ventures refined their business models, strengthened their market positioning, and enhanced their readiness for future investment and international growth.

Holta Dusha (Albania) builds on the tradition of bespoke tailoring while responding to the growing demand for personalised and sustainable fashion. The venture focuses on individually designed garments that combine craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics, demonstrating how local creative expertise can be transformed into a customer-oriented fashion business with long-term commercial potential.

Right FM (United Kingdom) illustrates how innovation within the creative economy can also emerge through business services. By integrating digital tools into facilities management, compliance, and maintenance operations, the company delivers smarter and more sustainable service solutions, improving operational efficiency while creating added value for commercial and public-sector clients.

Tanja Uvera (Slovenia) represents a creative business where design, consultancy, and education reinforce one another. Through bespoke knitwear, professional styling, and educational activities, the venture promotes slow fashion, individual expression, and lifelong learning, extending its impact beyond product creation towards the transfer of creative knowledge and expertise.

Zonda Creative (Kosovo) operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital creativity, and interactive technologies. Its portfolio of AI-powered applications, gamified platforms, and immersive digital experiences demonstrates how emerging technologies can be applied to develop innovative products for businesses, educational institutions, and international clients, while strengthening the digital transformation of the cultural and creative industries.

Pop2See (Greece) combines storytelling, cultural heritage, and digital innovation to create interactive educational experiences for diverse audiences. By transforming cultural content into engaging digital learning environments, the platform makes education more accessible, strengthens public engagement with culture, and illustrates the growing role of digital technologies in preserving and communicating cultural knowledge.

Together, these ventures demonstrate the broad innovation potential fostered by the CreaTech Start-up Booster Programme. Despite operating in different market segments, they share a commitment to creativity, innovation, and sustainable growth, reflecting the programme's objective of supporting entrepreneurial solutions capable of generating economic, technological, and societal value across Europe's cultural and creative sectors .
