Cross Innovation Academy
Dieses Projekt wird durch die Europäische Union und die Stadt Hamburg gefördert.
Our formats are backed by years of experience, valuable contacts and a wealth of methodological and process expertise. We would like to make all of this available to interested stakeholders in public organisations - in our Cross Innovation Academy.
The Cross Innovation Hub has been designing innovation processes for companies and organisations since 2016. We have already worked successfully with over 200 partners in our formats. This makes us a pioneer in the field of cross innovation with the creative industries. In our formats, we rethink culture, processes, products, services and business models together with Hamburg's creative scene. In this way, we make companies and organisations fit for the future and crisis-proof. We offer the following modules:
