Are you a small business in creative content production or gaming? CoLab is here to help you grow and innovate!
Our new R&D support program is designed to empower businesses like yours to develop new products and services and tap into new markets. CoLab will help you to explore new opportunities, adapt to changing markets and unlock potential.
This workshop will open with a practical skills workshop focusing on creative business partnerships, including:
- Identifying what corporate and institutional partners look for in external collaborations
- Making a compelling pitch to potential partners
- Articulating return on investment (ROI) for both commercial and in-kind partnerships
- Real-world examples of partnerships with brands like Ford Motors, John Lewis, and Sony PlayStation
The workshop will be followed by a panel featuring participants from both large and small institutions/businesses, speaking about their experiences with creative partnerships and sharing tips and best practices.
This event is from 12.30 till 4pm.
