Who will win the national round of the Creative Business Cup competition? We will know the answer to this question on the 14th. March evening, when the seventh edition of the competition organised by the CzechInvest agency will take place in the Varšava cinema in Liberec. This year, it will be complemented by a rich accompanying programme focused on creative industries.

Creative Business Cup 2024 comes with a brand new programme. In cooperation with the business incubator Lipo.ink, the so-called. Creative Industries Day, a rich accompanying programme that precedes the gala evening itself. The accompanying Creative meets Business event will connect the world of creativity with the world of business, and the afternoon will include a series of interactive lectures and demonstrations of work by local artists. This event also includes the Fuckup Dessert event organized under the auspices of the Creative Hub of the Technology Incubation project, the main content of which is the sharing of experiences, “AHA moments” and subsequent discussion with experts from universities, private sector on the topic of technology transfer in the creative industries.

Registration for all three events is still open and can be done through these links: the Creative Business Cup Gala, Creative meets Business, Fuckup Dessert.

“We don’t change what works, but we like to try new things. In the future, we expect to expand the final day along the lines of what we are testing in Liberec this year. We want to create an afternoon program where not only the finalists but also other creative startups from the region will be presented. This year we will check if there will be interest in this format. If so, we’ll turn it into a one-day creative event,” says Markéta Mentelová, director of the Creative Hub of the Technology Incubation project and organiser of the national round of the competition.

Creative Business Cup aims to support creative startups from all over the world, connecting them with each other and helping them find investors and conquer foreign markets. The CzechInvest Agency for Enterprise and Investment Promotion has been organising the Czech national round of the competition for the seventh year. It searches for creative and innovative startups across the Czech Republic and helps to verify their global potential through the Creative Business Cup competition. This year’s partners include the City of Liberec and the Liberec Region, the Smart Accelerator of the Liberec Region and Start it @ČSOB.

A diverse selection of startups with products from a range of creative industries made it to the final ten, from electric cargo trucks to a puppet action game to an app that connects music teachers with students. A detailed overview of these can be found in a separate press release.
