The REMIX team are hands-on cultural entrepreneurs, who created and recently sold CultureLabel.com, an ecommerce marketplace funded by venture capital where creative minds find inspiration and shop the greatest art and artist-designed gifts, homeware and accessories from iconic cultural institutions, galleries, artists and boutiques.

In 2009, REMIX authored the book Intelligent Naivety, exploring new commercial revenue streams for not-for-profit cultural organisations – where better to get on and create great ideas than the space where culture and consumers meet?

Role in the project
REMIX will be responsible of the organisation of the 6 thematic workshop on monetization which will follow the hackathons. It will then take the results of the workshops into the mentoring and incubation phase to prepare for the market launch of the applications after the end of the project.
