Philadelphia-Based Bluecadet Accepted to #DigitaLab in Paris

Digital agency Bluecadet was recently named one of four U.S. companies to be accepted into the French Embassy’s inaugural French-American Digital Lab. Beginning December 12 in Paris, the six-day program seeks to introduce U.S. companies to the French market to further break into the global business sector in a series of meetings, workshops, and networking events. With clients such as the National Air and Space Museum, the National Baseball Hall of Fame, MoMA, The Art Institute and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this program will help globalize Bluecadet’s work in the digital sphere.

Both a creative and economic development program for organisations of the cultural sector, the French-American Digital Lab was created by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and co-produced by Business France. The program is a prestigious entryway for the chosen agencies into the second largest market in Europe. Bluecadet will gain tremendous support in acclimating into a key destination for tech companies, and will be awarded access to Paris’s thousands of cultural institutions, such as Institut Français, Louis Vuitton Foundation, Louvre, Paris Musées, and the Google Cultural Institute.

The agency’s presence in this program wraps up a landmark year, which included two Webby awards for their Science Friday website redesign, an FWA for Van Gogh’s Bedrooms, an immersive digital experience at the Art Institute of Chicago, six W3 Award wins, the opening of a New York City office, and a presentation at the FastCo Innovation Festival.

This program offers a entryway into the global market - a new frontier for the agency.
