KreaNord is arranging KreaLab no 1 – a lab discovering how the Nordic countries will transform the society and business through putting the creative industries in a leading position. KreaLab 1 will make the Nordic countries into a hub for, and a globally leading model to, create social- and economical innovation.

Opening speakers:

Farshid Moussavi: globally renowned architects, professor at Harvard University, known to create interaction between different fields of knowledge. She is about to launch her own ”function lab” – to develop new insights into function in our times.

Reed Kram: selected world’s best young designer 2008. He has, together with Clemens Weisshaar, developed design process to transform partners such as Audi innovation and Nigeria.

Ronald Jones: has since the late 80’s been an internationally leading writer, curator, speaker and artist on the need to create social change through art and the creative industries.

The lab/workshop will have an unusually concrete purpose: to make communication and business models to actually make the Nordic creative industries globally leading. The event manifests a unique opportunity to create productive future collaborative forms between the different sectors of the creative industries in the Nordic countries.
