The ArtLab Investment Forum is a project by Fondazione Fitzcarraldo (Turin, Italy) in collaboration with Media Deals (Berlin, Germany) and the European Creative Business Network (ECBN) and aims at encouraging and facilitating the interaction between a diverse range of startups operating in the Cultural and Creative Industries and European investors and stakeholders.

The forum was first initiated in 2017, which brings us to the 3rd edition this year, and will be held during ArtLab on Thursday June 27th at BASE, Milan (Italy), with a follow-up during the European Creative Industries Summit in Helsinki promoted by ECBN and the EU Finnish Presidency. The Forum departs with a call (which will close soon: Saturday 11th of May 11:59 p.m. ) for startups operating in the Cultural and Creative Industries who are looking for strategic partners and financial resources to fully deploy their growth potential. Selected startups will follow an online individual training session with Media Deals, an on-site training on Wednesday June 26th in Milan in order to present their project/service in a 5 min pitch on June 27th in front of a carefully selected international panel of Venture Capitalist Funds and Business Angels, followed by a Q/A session and one-to-one meetings with the potential investors.
