BALTICLAB AFTER We believe that young, creative minds in the Baltic Sea region can drive innovation and expand cooperation. For a fourth year running, Balticlab hence brings entrepreneurs and creatives in the Baltic Sea region together to prototype the future and build a community of talented individuals, who through collaboration empower the region to become more innovative, creative and prosperous. The Balticlab 4.0 Networking Weekend will include workshops & training sessions with practical advice from experts in the region from creative industries and the start-up scene. Inspirational individuals will share their professional experiences, as well as perspectives on collaboration and cooperation. This is an opportunity for you to push your own ideas further, but also to gain new contacts and be inspired by other like-minded individuals in the region. Balticlab Networking Weekend is only the first step in the Balticlab experience. Similar to last year, Balticlab will also be continuing in the form of a project-development programme titled Balticlab Ideation in March 2016. Hence we will also be selecting around 30 participants from the Networking Weekend, who we would like to see continue working with us throughout spring 2016.
