Innovation linked to creativity
Be creative. Be innovative. Profit.
The Creative Hub is an extension of the Creative Bic (Business Incubation Centre), which focuses primarily on incubating startups in the cultural and creative industries (CCI). Creative Bic is seeing high interest in incubation from startups, which proves that the Czech Republic can boast a large number of creatively minded people who want to change the world.
The Creative Hub develops the activities of Creative Bic and adds a broader dimension to them by involving not only startups, but also other organizations from the for-profit and non-profit, public, private and academic spheres. Our thematic focus is on the cultural and creative industries, with an emphasis on the development and use of innovative technologies in particular fields related to creativity, skills and talent.
Our goal
To form partnerships and foster collaboration between different institutions, organisations and companies across government, public, private and academic spheres. We are a place where an ecosystem is built, where ideas meet, experiences are exchanged, new projects are formed, good practices are shared, events are co-organised and conditions are created not only to support entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative industries.
Examples of supported areas
We contribute to the fusion of seemingly incompatible fields, namely culture, entrepreneurship, creativity and technology. Specifically, the cultural and creative industries include:
- Architecture
- Design (e.g. industrial, product, graphic, fashion, lighting)
- Advertisement
- TV and radio
- Film and video
- Books and press
- Music
- Video game industry
- Traditional and artistic crafts
- Cultural heritage
- Visual and Performing Arts
- Virtual/Augmented Reality
- 3D printing
Who we are looking for
Organizations, institutions, companies that want to help build an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the cultural and creative industries and are interested in sharing their know how and experience.
The Creative Bic incubator is open to entities falling within the definition of CCIs and other entities that use the connection of innovative solutions with creativity in their business activities, where the subsequent application of the product lies primarily in the CCI area. The incubator is also suitable for projects that prove to be creative, disruptive, with overlapping e.g. in education, tourism or having a social impact. There are no limits to creativity and the boundaries are not strictly marked.
Other activities
CzechInvest Agency and Creative Hub are proud organizers and supporters of the national round of the Creative Business Cup world competition.
