With the completion of the 2021 promotional period and the award of prize money, the Creative Hub promotional initiative will come to an end: Creative Hub is ceasing all activities at the end of the year. On Thursday, Creative Hub brought its community together for the last time and presented the final series of promotion.
Together with swissnex China, Creative Hub presented highlights from the Swiss creative industry at the Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industries Expo 2020 (YRDICIE) in Shanghai. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition successfully combined digital and analog formats.
Five teams were supported over 12 months by Creative Hub with coaching and networking. We take look back at what was achieved.
For the third time, Creative Hub is cooperating with HSLU and introducing students of the Digital Ideation course to entrepreneurship. In a six-part module, various topics in entrepreneurship are dealt with and applied to specific examples.
Today, Monday, August 24, 2020, Creative Hub is issuing the second Call for Submissions and calling on the Swiss creative economy to submit outstanding business ideas. Creative Hub offers the most promising one-year all-round funding: individual coaching with Creative Hub’s network of experts, networking, and communication with the economy. The aim is to successfully bring the best ideas from the Swiss creative scene to market.
Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China and an important trading center. The Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industries Expo (YRDICIE) dedicates around 54,000 square meters to the creative economy each year. The Creative Hub enables selected start-ups to digitally participate in the Expo in 2020.
The Creative Business Cup is an international start-up competition with a focus on start-ups from the creative economy. Once a year, startups from over 60 partner countries compete against each other in the final round of the Creative Business Cup in Copenhagen. International networking, exchange and mediation of investors are the goals of the Creative Business Cup.
This November, the Swiss non-governmental and non-profit promoting platform Creative Hub was invited to the Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industries EXPO (hereinafter abbreviated as YRDICIE 2019) to be one of the keynote speakers, introducing the creative industry landscape in Switzerland.

On Tuesday, the Swiss Startup Coaching Network (SSCN) was invited to its first networking event. The SSCN, a union of various start-up sponsors from all over Switzerland, is committed to close, Swiss-wide cooperation in the Swiss start-up funding scene.
