CULTURAL INCUBATOR SURVEY (ZAMBIA)

Creative Entrepreneurship Needs Assessment

What is a Cultural Incubator? An organisation or programme that functions to nurture the growth and development of cultural entrepreneurship.
The incubator aims to support, train, and coach selected cultural entrepreneurs and organisations in their innovation and development journeys through an incubation and coaching programme.
As a catalyst for economic growth and job creation, the goal of this project is to work with relevant stakeholders to strengthen the cultural industries by empowering local creatives to start their own enterprises, forge linkages, and have opportunities to monetise their artistic and creative innovation.
