Presentation
Presentation of Concepts within Capacity2Transform
The purpose of the Capacity2Transform project is to establish opportunities for long-term collaboration between creatives, businesses, and other tourism service providers from Northern Primorska. The project aims to connect sectors in the search for ideas that address the challenges of developing a sustainable tourism offering in the region.
As part of the project, 14 concepts for the development of sustainable products or services were presented on February 17, 2025, at Xcenter, Nova Gorica. These concepts, which contribute to the green digital transformation, respond to the challenges of the tourism sector in Northern Primorska—ranging from broad-based networking platforms to niche services.
During the presentation of ideas, project partners introduced a call for the next phase, where one of the presented concepts will be selected for further development. This concept will receive project support to advance it to the stage of a business idea for a product or service.
Since March 2023, the Center for Creativity has joined the Capacity2Transform project partnership (Interreg Central Europe), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Through this project, we seek to activate the transformative potential of cultural and creative industries and sustainable tourism in fostering the twin green and digital transition for the competitiveness of Central Europe.
The goal of the Capacity2Transform project is to enhance the capacities of entrepreneurship support organizations across Central Europe by improving the skills and competencies of the cultural and creative industries and the sustainable tourism sector. These efforts align with the green, digital, and creative transition.
