Why Plymouth Startup Weekend Culture and Tourism?
Last year Condé Nast Traveller magazine picked Britain's Ocean City as one of the top ten places to travel in 2020. Plymouth was also recognised as one of the top ten cities in the UK to launch a business, and it's no wonder; we are incredibly lucky to be part of a city thriving with ingenuity and enterprise.
But it's no secret that last year has been tough for the culture and tourism industry - now is the time to take your ideas for a new product, service or experience to the next level.
In collaboration with partners and experts from a range of business backgrounds we're inviting creative people from all across Plymouth, and beyond, to join us for another online Startup Weekend with a focus on Culture and Tourism. We want to find those new and innovative ideas that will make Plymouth THE cultural destination of 2022 and help bring them to life.With this event, we'll be focusing on solving problems and filling gaps related to arts, music, tourism and more...
It's time for the innovators and changemakers to shine! Let your own experiences or desire to travel inspire you. Whether you have ideas to improve experiences for tourists visiting Plymouth, the next cultural attraction itself, or to make travel around the world easier, the ultimate objective of this event is to empower you to take any idea from concept to creation!
What happens?
Beginning with Friday night idea pitches, the event continues through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, culminating in Sunday night demos and pitches.
