Turning an innovation ambition into a structured mandate.

The context

Locarno Innovate explores how a film festival’s relationships and industry knowledge can connect audiovisual innovation, technology companies and investment. Amigdala’s mandate focuses on shaping the initiative and its route to development.

Our work

The work brings together strategic positioning, the proposed business model, stakeholder roles and a phased development roadmap. The fundraising strategy defines the proposition for sponsors, institutional partners and investors, and how their participation can support the initiative.

The perspective

An innovation initiative needs a clear proposition for the people who can make it possible. Aligning its strategic purpose, operating model and fundraising approach provides a basis for discussions with partners and investors.
