The co-creation initiatives between traditional SMEs and Cultural and Creative Enterprises selected by the DIVA call will be supported with a financial contribution (up to €45,000) and will also be able to count on the skills made available by the DIVA Hubs activated in the three reference areas.

The Diva Hub FVG, dedicated to initiatives in Friuli Venezia Giulia, was created by the Area Science Park and Friuli Innovazione, combining experience and methodologies to find solutions and activate innovative connections among the various production sectors.

The DIVA Project, co-financed by the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014-20 cooperation programme, promotes cross-fertilisation processes between traditional enterprises and cultural and creative industries using co-design tools and other applied creative methodologies.
