The crowdfunding platform and the Festival have signed a collaboration agreement to hold an International Contest for Business Ideas and an Investment Forum in the performing arts industry under the name Arts Lab Temporada Alta. Call for entries will open next week and will remain open until 14 November, culminating with the holding of the contest on 28 November within the framework of the festival.

This joint project aims to promote innovation and to spot new talent within the performing arts industry. Anyone that wishes may present a business idea or entrepreneurial project provided that it applies to the theatre, dance or circus world, and we therefore welcome innovation in areas such as internet, monetization, mobile phone applications, ticketing or distribution, to name a few.

Finalist projects will be presented before a specialist jury as well as to a public audience including investors and personalities from the sector.
