KATAPULT Creative Accelerator Programme launched in Armenia with EU support

On July 12, the EU Delegation to Armenia launched the ‘KATAPULT Creative Accelerator Programme’ to connect local artists with potential investors.

This EU-funded project will be implemented in the framework of the ‘Catalysing creative industries development in Armenia’ programme by AGBU Fund Armenia and the ‘Creative Armenia’ Cultural Foundation.

On this occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, Ministry of High-Tech Industry, Ministry of Economy, AGBU and the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia.

“Creativity needs a legal framework, reliable partners, solid networks, innovative actors, specific and alternative financing and a constant, collaborative and participatory dynamic. This is what this project is all about: creating an environment and the best conditions for creativity, a source of wealth and livelihood,” said the Head of Cooperation of the EU Delegation to Armenia, Frank Hess.
