THE INCUBATOR
The LiVS Incubator will provide participants with accessible, affordable and temporary central city space where individuals can realise their vision. While a project is live, LiVS can provide advice and practical support around funding and project management. Participants can also benefit from LiVS’s wide range of networks and many years of experience to assist in the project’s success! If a particular project does thrive within the temporary space, LiVS can then work with the participant to find an ongoing more permanent and suitable space for the project.
THE PROJECT
The LiVS Incubator is a space for pop-up projects to run, anywhere from a minimum of 10 days up to a maximum of 2 months, where people can see their projects and ideas come to life; a testing ground for innovators, communities, entrepreneurs, creatives and educators.
