On 4 June 2019, the members of the selection committee for the call for innovative digital services projects met to select the 15 winners of the 2019 edition from among the 145 applications received.

The call for projects Innovative digital services aims to support technological or user innovations in the cultural sector and enables innovation actors to achieve a “proof of concept” within a cultural operator.

For this edition, the selection committee was composed of representatives of all the directorates of the Ministry of Culture, a representative of the competitiveness pole Cap Digital and 3 qualified personalities: Romain DELASSUS, product manager of Pass Culture, Sophie FOURQUET-MAHEO, innovation and foresight project manager at the Fondation Internet Nouvelle Génération (FING), and Corinne LEULIER, co-founder of FLUPA, the French-speaking association of user experience professionals.

 

Meeting on June 4, 2019, committee members selected 15 projects based on technologies that are not yet widely used in the field of culture or that could help create new digital uses for cultural actors.

Franck RIESTER, Minister of Culture, welcomes “from the growing interest in this support mechanism to the emergence of innovative initiatives that work towards the dissemination of digital practices and cultural democratization while encouraging cooperation between the economic, research and cultural sectors.”
