Free Collaboration with CultTech Accelerator Startups

This Open Call is led by CultTech Accelerator, the first accelerator for startups in culture.

Its first Batch with eight CultTech startups kicked off in late April 2022.

The Accelerator team strives to nurture and support a sustainable CultTech movement from the very beginning. This is why they are launching a collaboration project for Batch #1 startups and creative minds (artists, producers, cultural entrepreneurs and institutions).

The organizers believe that CultTech startups’ actions should bring as much impact as possible to cultural players around the world.

COLLABORATION BENEFITS

1. Network
   By collaborating with a startup, partners join the CultTech ecosystem with other creatives, startups, investors and institutions.
   Even if they apply and do not participate in this collaboration, they still become part of the community. The Accelerator team works with various CultTech companies and Accelerator Batch#2 is already planned, so they will be able to offer new opportunities in the future.
2. Organized collaboration for the future
   The Accelerator team fully undertakes the management of the collaboration during the Accelerator program, but it can be only the beginning of a long-term cooperation beyond it.
3. New market and publicity
   The Accelerator is based in Vienna, Austria, and the participating startups come from France, Germany, Spain, Estonia and Sweden.
4. Innovative models of monetization
   Startups' tech can help find new ways to monetize creative projects.
