T.A.B project at the Music.Design.Form Festival 2024 in Poland

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 &amp; 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. Interested individuals can apply to join the Cross-Border Expert Group by following this link. The recruitment is on a rolling basis, but we encourage candidates to apply as soon as possible to secure their place in the group.

Both young and seasoned artists, chosen through an open call, came together to explore and grow in the realm of digital art.<figure id="figure-o87ndu06dtly4dxw9u"><img id="o87ndu06dtly4dxw9u" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15e8wRXOpHx4DTvWOKwKjemUwVzfKWU0q5iNvpOtks1gbl1y2tOROaTd8h7Ioafj.jpg" alt="Instagram" title="Instagram" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15e8wRXOpHx4DTvWOKwKjemUwVzfKWU0q5iNvpOtks1gbl1y2tOROaTd8h7Ioafj.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Guided by SBA transition brokers, participants engaged in a series of creative sessions. These meetings focused on digital art, computer graphics, animation, and design. The activity aimed to spark conversations between art, artists, and emerging technologies, kickstarting the formation of a transition broker network (activity 2.1)."We received more than 65 applications. The interest in mixing citizen dialogue, environmental issues, and local identity challenges with art surpassed our expectations" Agata Grzybowska, Academy of Art in Szczecin and Media Dizajn.<figure id="figure-3751izndhly4dyn46"><img id="3751izndhly4dyn46" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fV2dqNn8NnR9LJrJUiCUdsdOY8hhAu9vZL7brKJjJDAU0yB5mEPFFtDaYz4D8kt.jpg" alt="Business Top Shot - www.chromaluts.shop" title="Business Top Shot - www.chromaluts.shop" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2fV2dqNn8NnR9LJrJUiCUdsdOY8hhAu9vZL7brKJjJDAU0yB5mEPFFtDaYz4D8kt.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>The event was preceded by local workshops with citizens in March and April 2024. These took place in Wolin, our associated partner city, and in Szczecin. During these sessions, ideas and challenges were gathered in a "ConcernBox". We then mapped these onto the European Green Deal turntable/radar for the South Baltic Area (activity 2.2). Participants drew inspiration from the region's shared history - the era of Pagans, Slavs, and Vikings. They explored these ancient cultures' intuition, connection to nature, and respect for elements like water, earth, and fire, seeking lessons for today."This theme aligns perfectly with the identity of Rietavas, our project partner. The outcomes will also reach Lithuania, and the insights gained in Poland will shape activities in Sweden and Germany."
