Kublai project helps innovators in southern Italy access development funds

The Kublai project aimed to reach out to creatives and innovators who, especially in certain geographical areas such as southern Italy, find it hard to access public resources to support their ideas and involve them in local development processes. To respond to this need, it created a web platform to engage with the wider creative community, many of whom had no previous experience with, or interest in making use of, public funding opportunities. Over the last seven years, the Kublai platform engaged with 586 different project proposals, more than half of which were successfully implemented.
