Announcing the Edinburgh Festivals Innovation Lab

The Edinburgh Festivals Innovation Lab is a revolutionary experiment and resource for Festivals (and working groups) to work with leading thinkers, technologists, artists, audiences and digital communities to explore exciting opportunities or respond to complex challenges like navigating the festivals, distributing content or making festivals greener. Over the next two years, our world-renowned festivals will be a stage and a showcase, a playground and a platform for a number of innovative pilot projects and initiatives. And the way we invite, select and deliver the projects will be an innovation in itself too.

This two year initiative to lead the digital development of Edinburgh’s Festivals has been made possible by an award of £300,000 from Creative Scotland’s National Lottery Fund. For more details, visit the Innovation Group page.
