Call for Experts: Join the TAB Cross-Border Expert Group

We are currently seeking cross-sectoral experts to form a dynamic
Cross-Border Expert Group for the TAB project. This group will play a key
role in supporting SMEs selected for acceleration. The focus will be on
helping them leverage digital innovation, cross-border collaboration, and
new business models.

As an expert, you will support some of the most passionate, creative
individuals—representatives of SMEs who are driven to explore
cross-border business opportunities in the South Baltic Sea region. You
will also gain excellent networking opportunities across Sweden,
Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, and Germany, allowing you to expand your
international network while contributing to this impactful project.

The Cross-Border Expert Group will consist of at least one and at most
three experts from each partner country. This ensures that the group
remains multidisciplinary while representing a range of perspectives from
the participating countries.

About the TAB Project:
The Tech, Art & Business (TAB) project, co-funded by the European
Union's Interreg South Baltic program, is a platform designed to
accelerate digital innovation in sectors like film, media, gaming, and other
creative industries. TAB explores emerging technologies, such as VR, AI,
XR, and innovative business models, to support the digital transformation
of SMEs.
Twice a year, the TAB project team organizes upskilling courses that
focus on developing both soft and hard skills, incorporating a creative
sprint as an element of experiential learning. The expert group will have
the opportunity to provide advice to the TAB team on which skills to
highlight in these courses and suggest external speakers and project
briefs. The first sprint was organized in Cannes in the spring of 2024, and
upcoming sprints will take place in Karlskrona (autumn 2024), Vilnius
(spring 2025), Berlin (autumn 2025), and Copenhagen (spring 2026).

The experts will be encouraged to be on-site during these upskilling
courses, and TAB will cover travel and accommodation expenses in the
hosting countries.

What We Are Looking For:
● Sector Expertise: We seek professionals with deep knowledge in
technology, creative industries, business acceleration, or
cross-sectoral collaboration. Your background might include film,
media, gaming, VR, AI, XR, creative leadership, or innovation, among
other fields.
● International Perspective: Experts must be based in one of the 5
TAB partner countries (Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, or
Germany) and bring diverse viewpoints to the acceleration process.
● Cross-Sectoral Team: We are forming a multidisciplinary expert
group, combining knowledge from different sectors to provide
holistic support to SMEs.
Key Responsibilities:
● Provide mentorship and guidance to selected SMEs as they
undergo the acceleration process.
● Offer advice to the TAB team on skills development for future
upskilling courses and suggest external speakers and briefs.
● Contribute to knowledge transfer by helping SMEs explore
international markets.
● Collaborate with other experts in cross-border workshops, events,
and training programs.
Why Join Us?
● Support passionate and creative entrepreneurs as they expand their
businesses across borders.
● Benefit from excellent networking opportunities in Sweden,
Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, and Germany.
● Participate in upskilling courses that combine hard and soft skill
development with creative sprints.
● Travel and accommodation expenses for participation in on-site
events will be covered by the TAB project.
