A brief history

In September 2018, an initial gathering of the TEH Nordic Baltic Hub was convened during a TEH86 in Bagneux. The aim was to delve into the necessity for networking within the specified geographic region. The official inauguration meeting for the establishment of the Nordic Baltic Hub unfolded at Kaapelitehdas in Helsinki on February 2019. Notably, the hub received support from the Nordic Culture Point in the year 2020.

2025

In 2025, the hub held two in-person meetings during TEH99 Conference in Sofia and TEH100 Camp Meeting in Riga. The meetings featured a pitching session, presentations on residency programmes, a brainstorming workshop focused on information technologies and the TEH Data & Tech strategy, and planning for shared initiatives.

The Nordic Baltic Shift project, led by KKC and supported by the Nordic Culture Fund, continued to play a key role in driving this collaborative momentum forward.

Updates from 2024

In 2024, the hub organised two online and two in person meetings during TEH97 Conference in Tartu and TEH98 Camp Meeting in Thessaloniki. The meetings explored funding opportunities, organisational challenges, and the development of collaborative projects.

One of the hub’s core activities was facilitating staff exchanges and residencies. Several member centres have committed to hosting participants, offering hands-on learning opportunities and nurturing long-term cooperation.

A major focus was the development of sustainable business models for cultural organisations. The hub planned on designing a framework to map best practices and build capacity through research trips, workshops, and joint funding applications laying the foundation for a more resilient cultural ecosystem.
