Our activity addresses the often-neglected segment of the creative enterprise sector based on ‘intangible cultural heritage’ (ICH), or ‘traditional cultural expressions’ (TCEs). We help young entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan develop more sustainable businesses through tailored intellectual property and marketing strategies.
