Creative Digital Growth BOOSTER

The Creative Digital Growth Booster (CDG Booster) project, led by XAMK partnering with LAB, Dataspelbranchen (SWE) and Tarto Science Park (EST), aims to accelerate the growth of SMEs in the creative digital sectors across Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. By bridging the gap between innovative digital technologies (VR, AR, XR, metaverse, game tech) and their application in traditional industries, the project enhances competitiveness and sustainability. Key objectives include establishing an accelerator program with workshops, mentoring, and advisory services, and creating a supportive cross-border ecosystem for collaboration and market expansion. The project will scale up 15-20 SMEs, helping them develop user-friendly products and scalable business models. A digital platform will facilitate ongoing communication and resource sharing. Outcomes include increased investment, improved user experience, and sustainable business models. Ultimately, CDG Booster aims to influence policies and strengthen the creative digital industries in the Central Baltic region through cross-border collaboration and innovative digital technologies.
