Creative Ventures combines keynotes, workshops, and networking events to support creative entrepreneurs and professionals. It focuses on sustainable business practices, leveraging artificial intelligence and the platform economy, fostering collaboration, and personal development. It is aimed at creative sector professionals, recent graduates, freelancers, and business professionals interested in entrepreneurship, collaboration, and innovation.

The future belongs to creative ventures

The Creative Ventures programme is a dynamic series of keynotes and workshops that brings together entrepreneurs and artists from various creative fields across the Nordic and Baltic countries. The series promotes collaborative learning, sparks innovation, and provides a platform for cross-sector collaboration. Participants will explore how creativity can be harnessed to drive business growth and shape the future of entrepreneurship through inspiring keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities.

This initiative builds on the findings of Aalto EE and Aalto University’s Future Artpreneurship project (2021–2022), which highlighted the need for further education in the creative sector.

Creative Ventures equips participants with the business acumen, skills, and resources they need to thrive as creative entrepreneurs. Through keynotes, workshops, and Nordic-Baltic networking opportunities, the series supports actors in the creative industries in understanding the challenges of entrepreneurship and building sustainable careers.

The series is implemented as a tour across the Nordic and Baltic countries, complemented by webinars. Keynote speeches are organised in a hybrid format, enabling free-of-charge participation for all interested parties throughout the Nordic and Baltic region.
