Culture Seeds 2020

Where is the culture of tomorrow produced today? How do the creative and culture industries interface with the urban environment and its ongoing transformations? How can we create enterprise units for culture that ensure their viability, produce a quality aesthetic, and respond to the challenges of climate change?

"Culture Seeds 2020" explores these questions through stories which the leading cultural entrepreneurs of Greece today share with us and each other. A collaboration between the Onassis Foundation and the NBG in the field of innovation and cultural entrepreneurship, Culture Seeds seeks to strengthen the businesses, communities and value chains that produce high-quality cultural goods at a local level for a global audience.

The workshop is being held for a second year within the framework of the NBG Business Seeds program and the Onassis Foundation's Digital Development and Innovation program. At this year's "Culture Seeds", a dozen or so teams will present innovative ideas relating to recycling, sustainability, crafting, culture routes and VR. Participants share their knowledge and experience and seek new cooperation prospects with a view to shaping the culture of tomorrow today.
