Sponsorships should be considered as a possibly method of funding the Lab or Music Tech Workshop. The following outline is an example of a sponsorship model used for the 2017 Summer Lab.
Why Sponsor?
The pace of change is accelerating.
Technology development is moving faster than ever. Old markets will be reshaped and new markets will emerge. What will transformational shifts such as decentralized networks, ubiquitous computing, fluid data, and bio-tailoring mean to your business?
Shape the change, get ahead.
Existing organizations are defined by the constraints of current markets, not set up to explore new ones. Instead of asking your company and customers to adapt to new technologies, you’ll use new customer needs and human-centered design to test and shape future business opportunities.
Push boundaries while mitigating risk.
New markets are uncertain and possibilities abound, so you’ll explore these areas efficiently and rigorously via a proven process with shared investment to maximize your chances of success.
Gain value through through the network.
Charting new territories requires expertise, investment, and commitment from multiple perspectives, beyond the walls of any one company. You’ll not only have access to experts, but also to new talent.
