On 19-20 October 2023, Creative Industry Košice invited us to visit Košice (Slovakia) to celebrate the new regional cooperation of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Innovation Community for Culture and Creative Industries. We attended inspiring and thought-provoking presentations and workshops at the two-day event in the Kasárne Cultural Park, one of the flagship venues of the European Capital of Culture (ECOC) year in Košice. Among the speakers were Lou Downe (service development expert), Timmy Ghiurau (head of innovation at Volvo Cars), Vik Maraj (neurological coach), Tomas Gonsorcik (marketing specialist) and Esko Reinikainen (consultant for systemic change).
The two-day event was not only a great source of inspiration, but also proved to be a really useful networking opportunity. We met old friends and made new contacts with colleagues. We thank Creative Industry Kosice for inviting us and look forward to working together.
