• Launching:

    Creative Incubations for Impact

    Open Call: Cohort 1 (Jan-June 2026)

  • Welcome to Valve's Creative Incubations Program

    We are officially launching our first round of formal Creative Incubations for Impact under Valve! 🎉


    These incubations are designed to support grassroot organisations and small businesses or startups who
    have an impact-centred model, whether that impact is social, environmental, both or beyond.

    This program aims to empower impact teams by providing access to specialized and dedicated creative input and support to projects that might not have the budget or capacity to access it otherwise. That includes research, production and mentoring hours across the creative process of a full project.

    What can be explored or produced during the incubation period:

    • Creative and Strategic Research: explore key stakeholders, craft communications and impact strategies, develop systems and refine current applications.
    • Impact Campaigns: plan, design, create and launch a campaign project that aims to spread awareness, drive social change, or promote a product with positive contribution to the community.
    • Innovative Products: design, test and iterate a product, physical or digital.
    • Branding a Project or Product: conceptualize and design a brand with its materials for a new project or to rebrand a current project.

    Applications deadline: 31.Jan.2026 (end of day)
