Creative Hubs, places for innovation

What is a Creative Hub?

Hubs are places where you can test your ideas and turn your business project into reality. Equipped with specially adapted machines (Fablab), they encourage collective competitiveness and the sharing of audiences, while offering individual and collective support for the ideation, design and testing of products and services. The attractiveness of hubs also rests on their ability to mobilise and stimulate an active community. 

What do Creative Hubs do?

• Interactive workshops to develop your ideas by confronting them with customer perspectives, testing them with potential users and checking their suitability for the market;
• Practical workshops to learn techniques and methods that boost creativity;
• Brainstorming and collaborative work sessions to generate ideas and develop solutions together;
• Easier access to your local Fablab, to create prototypes before considering large-scale production;
• Communications support to promote the region's creative initiatives (platform);
• Referring projects to local structures adapted to their level of maturity and needs.
