Our Start-up Phase
During the SUGA period, EIT Culture & Creativity was born.
From incorporating the legal entities to awarding funds with our first call of proposals, building the teams and the community, this period was intensely busy. It would not have been possible without the SUGA consortium partners and the support teams.
