HUB-IN Academy
Learn how to regenerate your historic urban area via entrepreneurship and innovation
The HUB-IN Academy learning journey
Historic urban areas hold incredible potential for innovation, creativity and sustainable development. But how do we turn ambition into action? The HUB-IN Academy is here to help!
Our five free online courses provide practical tools, real-world strategies and inspiring case studies to guide you on your journey of revitalising historic urban spaces.
Whether you're a city leader, entrepreneur, planner or cultural manager, this structured learning path will help you step by step.
Step 1: Understand the foundations
Before you start planning, explore how heritage can be a driver for innovation. Learn from real examples across Europe and discover how to build entrepreneurial ecosystems, develop sustainable business models and secure funding.
Step 2: Create a vision and roadmap
A successful transformation starts with a vision and a structured plan. This course walks you through stakeholder engagement, co-design processes, strategic planning and action plans to ensure long-term impact as well as theory of change.
Step 3: Use smart tools for better decision-making
Cities are complex ecosystems. Learn how to visualise urban assets, identify key stakeholders and use geospatial analysis to make informed and strategic decisions.
Step 4: Engage and accelerate local innovators
Innovation thrives in collaboration. This course helps city teams connect with innovators, recruit entrepreneurs and design tailored support programmes to accelerate change in their historic urban areas.
Step 5: Build and activate your Innovation Hub
Now it’s time to bring ideas to life! Learn how to launch and manage open calls, develop acceleration programmes and engage local entrepreneurs and creatives in your regeneration efforts.
The HUB-IN Project
How to bring historic urban areas back to life?
How can cities be reclaimed by their residents amidst touristification?
How to transform historic but abandoned areas into vibrant, future-proof places?
The EU-funded project HUB-IN endeavors to address these questions by transforming and regenerating Historic Urban Areas (HUAs) while preserving their unique cultural and social identity, as well as the environment.
Eight pilot cities - Belfast, Brasov, Genova, Grand Angoulême, Lisbon, Nicosia, Slovenska Bistrica and Utrecht - along with a range of international organisations, networks and universities, are co-developing new business models and innovative solutions that bring together sustainability and cultural heritage.
By focusing on creative industries, new lifestyles and natural and social resources, and by engaging with local communities and fostering relationships between local entrepreneurs, HUB-IN aims to:
- Reverse trends of abandonment and neglect of historic heritage
- Create new sustainable opportunities for local traditional businesses
- Develop new creative skills and jobs.
The innovation and entrepreneurship hubs developed in the partner cities’ HUAs will then be scaled up to a global network of HUAs in follower cities that will join the HUB-IN Alliance.
