Is it possible to run and manage big projects like start-up companies? Is Vesterbacka’s Talsinki plan really doable? Has anyone in the world done anything similar to that? How are such projects done in China and in the US?
-
13:45Panel: Removing Government from the Financing Equation – Could That Be the Future?
Until now, all major projects in the world have been funded by the government. Is that going to be the norm also in the future or could we reduce the role of the government and raise capital in a more efficient way? Why can or can’t we finance big projects the same start-ups are funded?

14th march 2019 @ Vaba lava
Venue
Vaba Lava
Telliskivi 60a, C1-building, Tallinn 10412, Estonia
Vaba Lava is housed in a former metal workshop, which was transformed into a simple and elegant steel, glass, and concrete venue. While redesigning the building, their primary concern was to preserve as much of the historic building as possible to create a symbiosis of old and new. The aesthetics of the building follows the “form follows function” principle.
It is situated in the Telliskivi creative area in the neighbourhood of Kalamaja (a subdistrict of Põhja-Tallinn) and the Baltic Railway Station. Kalamaja is a rapidly developing urban district with a potential of becoming a future cultural centre of Tallinn with a focus on new, avant-garde, and experimental work – a place where is room for taking risks in and across artistic disciplines.
