Creative Business Network is bringing together scientists, professionals, corporates, start-ups, investors and institutions to find the best tools that solve education problems by combining Play & Learn. 

Cultural creative entrepreneurs and startups can indeed implement and scale their solutions joining their forces with the many people that are changing the landscape of learning and play with their projects, in each area of the world. 

We launched a Play & Learn community, to help startups, companies and institutions working on education, games and learning to grow and implement innovation projects. On the 10th of November we are hosting a webinar where start-ups will pitch to investors. Intrigued? Sign up to watch free of charge here.

If you’re interested on Play & Learn, if you’re a student, a teacher, an education or game professional or if you simply want to know more about play and learning innovation, register as a webinar participant.

During the event, you will be able to watch start-ups pitch to investors as well as several Play & Learn startups, who participated to the Creative Business Cup, present their case histories. 

The webinar is free of charge and will start on the 10th of November at 2 PM CET and continue to 6 PM CET. You can join in at any time. Register with the form below to access the zoom link.
