The competition will showcase startups from various creative sectors, including fashion, design, media, gaming, and arts. Past winners have included innovative ventures like Miro, Deafmetal, and Miss Can, each representing the pinnacle of creative entrepreneurship.

From digital transformation and sustainable practices to international market expansion and funding strategies, the event will cover a broad spectrum of topics crucial for the growth and success of creative enterprises. The program includes roundtable discussions, workshops, and acceleration programs, all aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation.
“We’ve planned the events around BRIGHT 2025 to reflect the expanding influence of creative industries across multiple sectors and the need for closer collaboration between actors. This year’s BRIGHT represents the culmination of a year-round global initiative that has identified and nurtured the most promising creative startups from over 80 countries,”
