CREW

Tuesday, 31 March | 2:00 – 5:00PM

We are pleased to be accepting applications for our first Masterclass in our new Creative Catalyst Programme.

Emerging Technologies & Digital Adoption

Unlock the power of emerging and immersive technologies to grow your creative business. 

This intensive programme combines a 3-hour live Emerging Technologies masterclass with three hours of small-group mentorship, designed specifically for creative-tech SMEs ready to explore AR, VR, MR, virtual production, motion capture and immersive projection spaces. 

Led by industry practitioners and cross-border innovators, participants will gain real-world insight into cutting-edge tools, platforms and workflows — and, crucially, how to adopt them strategically inside their own organisations. 

Through case-study showcases, peer-to-peer clinics and guided mentoring, you’ll develop a clear, de-risked technology adoption plan aligned to your growth goals, funding readiness and IP strategy.

Format: 

  • 3-hour online masterclass 
  • 3 hours of facilitated group mentorship 
  • 10–12 participants for high-impact discussion 
  • Cross-border cohort (North & South) 
  • Creative industries focus
