Show Me the Money – Financing Strategies for Creative Businesses
Complements The Lab's workshops on finance, law, and sustainability with a strategic financing perspective. An orientation through the funding landscape surrounding Malmö's creative sector – from municipal project grants and regional funds to EU programs and private foundations. The focus is not just on "where's the money?" but on how to strategically combine funding sources to build a sustainable business.
Chrissie's experience as a culture manager, co-founder of Kulturbryggan and her work with alternative financing models provides a unique insider perspective.
