CultTech Summit 2026

Vienna · 4–5 November 2026

Culture isn't a niche. It's an industry — built and funded across museums, startups, labs, foundations, investment funds, and creative practices. CultTech Summit puts the people running it in the same room, for two days in Vienna.

50+ speakers · 900+ participants · 30+ countries · Two days · One room.

The platform at the intersection of culture, technology, and capital. Cultural institutions, founders, artists, funders, and researchers — in the same conversation, not in separate rooms.

The 2025 edition pulled in speakers from across AI research, music business, opera, museum direction, investment, and startup-building, alongside 100+ investors and 35+ startup pitches over two days. 2026 builds on that with new formats and a sharper programme.

Pre-day workshops in Vienna's cultural venues. November 3 — field-specific workshops hosted across the city's leading museums, music venues, and creative institutions. Limited places, ticket-holders only.

CultTech Global Awards. First edition. International awards for new work in culture and tech, across four categories — cultural institutions, ecosystem builders, startups, and education / research. Finalists exhibit at the Summit. Winners announced live on stage.

A wider programme. Roundtables across the two days. An art programme on external Vienna stages. After-hours that run past the closing keynote.

Anyone building, funding, researching, or running work at the intersection of culture and technology. Founders, artists, technologists, investors, museum directors, researchers, policymakers — and the people moving between those roles.

— The best practices in culture × tech, from the people running them — Direct access to investors backing creative-industry work — A speaker list that doesn't stay in one lane — Roundtables and 1:1s, not just panels — Vienna in November — venues, dinners, museums after closing
