Education that fosters creativity. Education in collaboration with local businesses. Education as a driver of innovation and entrepreneurship in our region. Sounds like a utopia?

The seminar "Creativity and Business" will focus on how entrepreneurship and innovation can occur when one manages to break old barriers between them and us, between disciplines and areas of expertise, between education and business, between then and now. This is not a seminar on good intentions, but the launch of the methods, processes, actors and cooperation that will provide tangible results in our region.

The seminar is collaboration between HiB, Flettverk and the EU project "Clear".

Center for Innovation at the University of Bergen is a research and competence center in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Flettverk is a facilitator for groundbreaking and innovative interaction processes between education, communities and businesses.

Clear is an international EU project with the goal of developing strategies to raise awareness in education about the importance of creativity in innovation processes.
