Challenge
A series of events for creative entrepreneurs and SMEs with international ambitions. The events gave a unique opportunity to showcase to potential partners and investors in the Danish business community as well as high-profile individuals from the US. NordicLA – an international agency powered by VOLCANO – launched this series throughout 2019: four events took place in Denmark, and two in Los Angeles.
Approach
The events created a hub for creative entrepreneurs and SMEs with international ambition, allowing them to showcase their business to potential partners, investors, stakeholders and high-profile individuals from both Denmark and the US. The series provided creative companies and business-oriented artists the opportunity to meet established entrepreneurs and advisors from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Denmark, the Growth Fund, and the Ministry of Culture. NordicLA's leading role included taking care of all processes from conceptualization to planning to execution, both in the US and Denmark.
As a follow-up, the knowledge collected during the events was shared with all contributors, giving them insights on how to maneuver in the field of tension between business and artistry. The overall findings were produced in a short report, published on VOLCANO's publications page.
