Creative FLIP launched the Cross-Sectoral Pioneers Program to support innovative projects through cross-disciplinary collaboration. We selected 10 innovative pairs from the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCSI) and beyond to team up, create, and explore new possibilities together. 

The  program aims to: 

• Foster Cross-Sectoral Collaboration: Encourage cooperation between professionals from the cultural and creative sectors (CCSI) and those from different sectors, either within or beyond CCSI, to develop innovative partnerships.
  
  
• Create Tangible Outputs: Support the development of a working prototype, demonstration, creative/artistic production, or project proposal that can serve as a valuable asset for further development, validation, or investment.

• Enhance Peer Learning and Exchange: Enable knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer learning between participants from different sectors through a structured 5-day hackathon-style exchange program.
  
  
• Promote Innovation Through Creativity and AI: Special emphasis is placed on projects that explore the intersection of creativity and artificial intelligence, encouraging participants to experiment with new technologies and creative practices

The selected projects span a diverse range of sectors and countries, embodying the program's commitment to fostering cross-sectoral cooperation and innovation. Each chosen pair will engage in a five-day collaborative program between April and November 2025, working on tangible outcomes such as prototypes, demonstrations, or creative productions.
