Testing potential to create innovations

Philippe Kern

We are working on EU-founded project in which in 10 cities throughout Europe we test an experiment the ability of making creative professionals, artists, culture institutions but also making culture and creative industries to work with other sectors of the economy or to work with public administration to see whether we can create interactions, overcome the boundaries between different disciplines and encourage people to work together and merge different skills. We want to find out whether by merging those different skills we can generate new forms of innovations, if we can generate next steps of our economy and make our cities, our economy more competitive, locally, internationally. In this project each city will try to experiment with tools and instruments that foster these interactions. It will involve also universities, research centres, businesses, public administration, hospitals and we will see what positive results this interaction can for the city, region, country and for Europe. <span><br><br> </span>
