Createch business combines creative content with new, innovative technologies.

The ACT ONE project will establish a createch hub through collaboration between participating higher education institutions and local companies. The hub will work closely with local startup incubators and business advisory services, and its primary role is to support the development of createch business in the region. The hub’s website can be found at www.luote.online.

In addition to the hub, the project offers companies de minimis support for developing createch prototypes and for advancing createch business activities.

The project is carried out by the LUX research group at the Faculty of Art and Design of the University of Lapland, the Startup Services of the Lapland University Consortium, and the FrostBit Software Development Laboratory at Lapland University of Applied Sciences. The total budget of the whole joint project is 642 399€, of which 513 918€ is ERDF funding and 128 481€ is co-financing from the project partners.
