EXTRA PROGRAMME

Build a Business Around Your Creativity

From Creative Vision to Creative Business

The StartUp Planet Creative Entrepreneurship Programme is designed for artists, designers, makers and other creative professionals who are ready to turn their ideas into a business or have recently launched their venture.

Building a successful creative business requires more than talent and great ideas. It takes structure, strategy and the confidence to transform your creativity into a sustainable business. Throughout five hands-on modules, you’ll develop practical entrepreneurial skills while working on your own business idea.

You’ll learn from experienced entrepreneurs and industry professionals, receive valuable feedback, connect with like-minded creatives and leave with a stronger business concept and a concrete action plan for your next steps.
