- Foster innovative cross-sectoral approaches and tools which shall, where possible, encompass multilingual and social dimensions to facilitate the distribution, promotion and monetisation of, and access to, culture and creativity, including cultural heritage.
The Creative Innovation Lab shall incentivise players from different cultural and creative sectors, including audio-visual, to design and test innovative solutions for key challenges, with a potential positive long-term impact on multiple cultural and creative sectors.
