Scaling up Cultural Impact on Society
accelerating opportunities in the knowledge economy
Learn
Continuous learning is the cornerstone of our business practice. We systematically monitor research outcomes, trends and policies in the field of cultural management and beyond. We learn new skills and experiment with emerging technologies and business models. Curiosity and research skills are helping us to document and understand the fast moving knowledge environment we live in.
Create
We work closely with cultural organisations, industrial partners, research and educational institutions in order to conduct applied research and development. Through R&D partnerships we develop our initial knowledge and create new, specialised and potentially commercial viable concepts. We rely on this knowledge to conceive and prototype new products and services.
Share
We share the outcomes of this research and development process with stakeholders in the form of reports, scientific papers and prototypes. Early and open communication of new knowledge and technology allows us to evaluate its potential cultural impact and measure its commercial feasibility. Sharing also help us to place the end-user experience in centre of our product development strategy.
Grow
We build the partnerships and establish the networks needed to scale up promising projects. Our international business experience and understanding of the cultural sector provides us with a unique competitive advantage when it comes to grow and monetise new products. We aim to be the leading commercialisation partner for research organisations in our field.
