Aalto Digital Creatives pre-incubator programme accepts applications until 16.9.2024. The programme aims to help creative industry students, researchers and practitioners on their path towards entrepreneurship.
In the programme, participants learn how to develop and protect their business idea, gain networking opportunities, and practice delivering compelling pitches.
The programme seeks applicants from a creative industry background. Potential business ideas can be from a wide range of topics, including:
- new methods and formats for audiovisual storytelling
- technology enhanced art, design, and entertainment
- augmentation of human creativity through computational methods
- creation of novel interactive experiences
- platforms for and by the creative industries
Applications are accepted from individuals or teams with a business idea where creativity meets digital technology. Previous business experience is not required. The selection process evaluates the business idea’s potential for further development, the solution it provides and how it shapes a sustainable future.
The Aalto Digital Creatives pre-incubator is part of the Campus Incubators network formed by seven higher education institutions and supported by the City of Helsinki. In Aalto University the programme is coordinated by Aalto Startup Center and Aalto Studios.
