We are creating a platform where the cultural and creative industries get together to promote uses of technology that serve the higher purpose of ‘more culture to more people’, while identifying and containing the risks.
Research and Education Advancements in Culture and Technology. Submission deadline: July 6th.
CultTech = culture + technology
Technology has the potential to empower creators and consumers, enable massive access to culture and foster new economic models for the creative and cultural industries.
Who we are
CultTech Association (est. 2022) is a Vienna-based non-profit. We believe that culture is key to the future of humanity, and that technology has massive power to make it or break it. We support initiatives that explore technology's transformative power and attempt to steer technological transformation for the greater good. Our scope of work includes an accelerator for cultural startups, research and educational programmes in partnership with leading universities, residencies for artists and technologists, and the annual CultTech Summit, the rendezvous of all those who share our passion and vision.
Our vision
We strive for a world where all humans can engage with culture and leverage it for personal growth and fulfilment. We believe that technology has the power to make this happen, while presenting significant risks if ill-directed.
Our mission
We are creating a new ecosystem by establishing a win-win relationship between culture and technology. These two worlds will benefit from each other and will create a new driving force for developing economy and society in a more sustainable way. We are building a global community of like-minded individuals and ambitious initiatives that are reinforcing the potential of culture to become a game changer for other areas of human activity.
