Luova Lämpiö co-research

Luova Lämpiö is a Business Finland-funded co-research project (2024–2025) rooted in artpreneurial thinking. It explores ethical and sustainable cross-sector collaboration through creative agoras and a multi-case research structure. Led by researchers from Aalto University and other partners, the project aims to fill research gaps, develop scalable models, and promote fair, sustainable partnerships in the arts and creative industries. It is structured into four work packages that unite academia, business, creative industries, and technology to generate innovative collaboration and contract solutions.

Eventually, the aim is to intertwine entrepreneurial mindsets and skills into art studies to encourage and empower students and professionals in the creative field to boldly explore entrepreneurship as a possible career path.
