THE CONFERENCE

Results, lessons learned, and future steps

The world is facing major challenges – and we need new ways of working with innovation and transformation. Here, the cultural and creative industries play an important role, with their artistic expertise and ability to open up new perspectives and approaches.


That’s why we invite you to the conference Cross Innovation in Practice, where we share insights and results from the project Cross Innovation Southern Sweden.

The project has been carried out by Region Skåne and Region Blekinge / NetPort Science Park, with the ambition to explore how Cross Innovation can become a new way of putting regional innovation strategies into practice. By bringing together different perspectives and industries, we want to highlight paths forward where artistic expertise, sustainability, and collaboration serve as driving forces for change.


The conference is aimed at those working with business support initiatives who want to explore how the expertise of the cultural and creative sector can become a driver of innovation. We also welcome entrepreneurs – from any industry – who want to create sustainable solutions in collaboration with others, for a future that addresses our major societal challenges.
