Creativity and Innovation fostering Cultural Heritage

Heritage Innovation Lab

Within the frame of the Creative Innovation Lab C4Education the team launched a comprehensive online platform aiming to act as a b2b marketplace for tools and applications of relevance for stakeholders in the cultural and creative sectors.

Tools and Services

The Heritage Innovation Marketplace not only offers an extensive list of tools, but intends to back this up with additional how-to-use, self-guided learning material, video tutorials and other supportive measures, inviting cultural heritage players to actively use these tools.
