The LABoral IMPULSA residency is aimed at innovative initiatives in the field of creative industries that propose new format business projects related to design, fashion, architecture, journalism, crafts, digital services, video games, health or the environment.
The LABoral IMPULSA program is a collaboration with the Gijón City Council that arose in 2018 with two fundamental objectives: on the one hand, the promotion and support of cultural and creative industries, and on the other, the connection between the different agents of the Milla del Conocimiento for the realization of projects that generate new companies and, therefore, wealth in the municipality.
The residency offers an inspiring environment and creative synergies in the ecosystem of the Art Center, workspace, access to the digital fabrication laboratory, accompaniment, guidance and support in the search for partners, grants and aid, as well as relevant connections in our local, national and international network of contacts and collaborations. The projects realized during the residency are presented at the annual international event LABoral IMPULSA Creative Day.
The selection of resident projects is carried out through an annual public call. Candidate projects are selected by a jury formed by LABoral, Gijón IMPULSA and two external experts.
The residency period is 9 months.
