FOCUS FIELDS
The Creative Accelerator includes four areas of expertise, each centered on developing sales opportunities. The program consists of training sessions, independent work, meetings with field leads, and networking events. Each participant selects one focus group but will have the chance to connect with both their own group’s lead and the leads from other areas during trainings and joint events. Each focus area will include 3 to 5 participating companies.
ART
The field leadwe is Raul Oreškin. This track welcomes artists who want to increase the sales of their work and are looking for support to do so. It’s also open to companies whose business ideas focus on helping artists sell their creations. The program will focus on understanding how the art market works, developing sales strategies, and finding practical solutions to help art reach the right audiences.
“I invite everyone who feels they need a bit of a restart or a push to move forward. I don’t have a magic formula, but we can reflect together, share ideas, and discover new ways to take art sales to the next level.”
FASHION AND DESIGN
The field leader is Tiina Andron. This track is open to businesses operating in the design or fashion sectors that want to strengthen their market position through a clear value proposition. The focus areas include brand strategy, product life cycle, pricing, and circular economy opportunities—all aimed at helping participants grow their businesses more intentionally.
“The success of design and fashion brands lies in strong strategy and mindful development. In this program, you’ll gain practical knowledge and a supportive environment to make your brand stronger and more distinctive. If you’re looking for new opportunities to grow and collaborate, we’d love to have you join us!”
CREATIVE PROJECTS
The field leader is Astrid Hallik. This track welcomes businesses working on creative projects, including tourism companies and third-sector community initiatives, who are looking to expand and engage their audiences in new ways. The focus is on strategic event planning, community engagement and retention, and creating impactful projects through cross-sector collaboration.
“A great creative project isn’t just an event—it’s a story that connects people and creates meaning. Together, we’ll find ways to turn ideas into experiences that resonate and endure.”
DIGITAL SERVICES
The field leader is Maret Ahonen. This track is designed for creative entrepreneurs offering digital services and products who want to develop their business and stand out in a competitive market. We welcome service platforms, agencies (such as marketing, design, or media), game development companies, and other digital service providers looking to define their unique value proposition and differentiate themselves.
“The best solutions are born through discussion and collaboration. The LooME Accelerator offers you new contacts and a supportive environment to test and develop your ideas. If your current choices aren’t leading to the results you want, it’s time to set new goals and take bold steps forward.”
PROGRAMME
The program includes five training and networking events, one of which will be held online. In addition, each focus area features two group meetings and four one-on-one sessions to ensure personalized guidance and targeted development for participants.
By the end of the program, participants will have created a financial plan and sales strategy for their business, and gained the skills needed to make data-driven decisions. Graduates will know how to take their business to the next level and achieve their sales goals.
