Action 3
Title of action: Match!
Brief description on what it is about:
This idea was directly inspired by the project MATCH!#1 developed by IDM Suedtirol/Alto Agige in the cooperation with Free University of Bozen (UNIBZ) Faculty of Design and Arts and South Tyrolean companies from different sectors. 15 students from the Product Design course at the UNIBZ Faculty of Design and Arts, supervised by Harry Thaler, together with Alessandro Mason and Francesco Galofaro, thus dedicated the first semester of the 2018- 2019 academic year to support the creation of new projects (ideas, products, prototypes) along with 6 South Tyrolean companies from different sectors - Betonform, Jokodomus, Lichtstudio Eisenkeil, Mobilrot, Schweitzer – Interstore, 3DW.it - which took up the challenge. The results are 16 different ideas for prototypes which the companies can now decide to develop, but above all a new and concrete awareness of the possibilities of contamination with the Creative Industries sector in South Tyrol. The representative of Lublin City got inspired during RCIA project. Following the suggestions presented by external experts at the Policy Round Table in Lublin, the decision was taken to implement firstly small-scale incentives.
There are two main reasons for implementing this project in Lublin, Poland:
- to stimulate local business entities with the innovative development of their products and processes through the collaboration with the Creative Industries and
- to unlock the power of Culture and Creative Industries in Lublin and make it available to other sectors of the local economy.
There are 85.853 companies running their business in the Lublin Voivodship employing 355.919 people. Faculty of Arts of Maria Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin runs several studies (first level - BA, second - MA, and postgraduate studies) connected with CCI, eg.: graphics, artistic education, computer graphics, design, photography. Lublin University of Technology and The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin also run Architecture studies.
