funding solutions

what we offer

we retain a flexible approach to criteria, but the following should serve as a guideline.

  • working with the applicant through the process of developing their ideas
    • providing advice and contributions through the development process
    • finding experts and professional collaborators to help produce the concept
    • providing assistance throughout the production
  • drawing in expertise from within the creative lab team, the twofour54 network, established media companies and other creatives to make the applicant’s project as successful as possible
  • encouraging other members of the creative community who are looking for experience to get involved in the project
  • after the project is completed we continue to work with the applicant to set a commercial plan for the project, if this is appropriate, and try to find further development and career opportunities for them

what we require when an idea is submitted:

  • register with our online community, creativelab.ae
  • fill in our online application form
  • attachas much information and detail about your project possible, that will be comprehensive for any who read it.
  • tell us more about you by uploading your CV
  • be clear about what you need to achieve from your project, is it aiming to make a cultural contribution, a commercial project, or just a learning experience?

twofour54 ibtikar creative lab provides funding for creative projects in the range of US$1,000 to US$50,000.

funding for creative projects differs from twofour54 ibtikar's other activities in that we are not looking to own equity in your idea or format, nor are you required to pay back the money once the project is complete.
