Culture Seeds 2023

How do we move from the individual work to the product, and what does this mean for the creator? What are the boundaries between art and design? How can we ensure value production and at the same time establish environmental responsibility, connection with local communities, and integration into international value chains?

The Onassis Foundation and the National Bank of Greece are organizing an online workshop for the groups that participated in the 13th Innovation & Technology Competition, in the framework of the NBG Business Seeds program.

For the fifth year, Culture Seeds plants seeds of culture in the framework of the NBG Business Seeds program and the Onassis Foundation’s Digital Development and Innovation programs. This is a collaboration in innovation and cultural entrepreneurship that aims to strengthen businesses, communities, and value chains that produce high-quality cultural goods locally for an international audience.

Start-ups from the field of culture at different stages of maturity – from very early stage to seed level – participated in the competition by submitting innovative entrepreneurship proposals. In addition to the selected groups, partner funds and organizations that support entrepreneurship have been invited.
