Purpose and goal
Culture and creativity are critical for meeting the challenges of the future in dynamic, technology-driven environments as they foster innovation, adaptability, ethical considerations, customer-centric solutions and collaboration. By strengthening the creative sector, DemoCreate will unleash and amplify transformative power wich will guide society through a restructuring of the labor market. The goal is to generate creative value for the future labor market.
Expected results and effects
In parallel with identifying angles, impacts and mission, the project has also created a new national platform taking off from the cultural and creative sector and manifesting the core values of creativity, innovation and democracy. By establishing the DemoCreate partnership and with target groups based on a quadruple helix model, we have created a national network with sixty actors that was not previously been formed. The project has created new structures for innovative collaborations.
Planned approach and implementation
The project partnership represents the areas of art, culture, technology, business and community development, which forms an essential basis for project implementation. Each project partner has identified and gathered actors, identifying needs and proposing areas of activity in collaboration with other parties in the feasibility study. The implementation has been aligned with Vinnova´s Designing Missions and defines a clear mission adressing society´s challenges.
