Which digital creative company wants to travel to the Montreal Hub in Canada in November? The City of Munich is providing a travel subsidy so that startups from the creative industry can network internationally and gain inspiration there. The application deadline is September 20th.
The City of Munich supports five companies from
Media, cultural, and creative industries interested in traveling to the Montreal Hub in Canada. Companies should be from the following sectors: design, storytelling, film, media & journalism, arts & tech, VR/AR/MR, brands & marketing, coding & development, and software & games.
Pitch, lunchtime speed dating or cocktail networking at the Montréal Hub
Business ideas can be presented on-site. There are also various matchmaking formats, such as speed dating lunches and a cocktail reception. The event will take place from November 18 to 21, 2019.
The exchange platform for digital creative companies and experts from culture, entertainment, and experimental marketing focuses on networking and showcase opportunities. In its third year, the event is establishing itself as a hotspot for innovative creative companies, media enthusiasts, and storytellers from around the world. At the same time, the event is not yet as crowded as, for example, the SXSW in Austin.
How can you apply for the grant?
The travel allowance for selected startups is €2,000. Applications can be submitted either as a PDF file (as an email attachment) or as an email text. The following information must be submitted:
- Age of the company and number of employees
- How long the company has been on the market and whether it is already active internationally
- Industry
- Which business idea could be pitched in Montréal
- Cover letter: Why does a trip to the Montreal hub make sense for the company right now? What are the expectations for the on-site visit?
The funding from the City of Munich includes only travel expenses of €2,000. In addition, the company must independently finance a ticket for the event and organize its own travel.
Anyone interested in applying for a grant for this emerging cultural and creative industry event can do so by September 20, 2019. Please send an email to: kreativ@muenchen.de
