WORKSHOPS IN ROMANIA / HUNGARY / AUSTRIA / FRANCE
Presentation
Following the success of the NUMIX LAB (the first European traveling event dedicated to digital creativity), which brought together over 300 professionals from 28 countries in the field of digital creation over the course of a week in Budapest, Veszprém, Vienna, and Linz in December 2025, the French Institutes of Hungary, Austria, and Romania, together with {CORRESPONDANCES DIGITALES], have decided to launch an acceleration and cooperation program between French, Austrian, Hungarian, and Romanian entrepreneurial and institutional stakeholders.
A tour across these countries will take place through three workshops, each lasting an average of three days. These will include presentations of the local digital creation ecosystem, workshops followed by feedback sessions, as well as visits and meetings with creative studios and cultural venues and events.
