From unlocking new monetisation models and scaling cultural products to leveraging AI, blockchain, and immersive tech for creative impact, CultTech Summit 2025 is a launchpad for innovation where purpose-driven startups connect with investors, collaborators, and global visibility. Venture capital firms focused on the creative sector will also be present, including Speedinvest, 528Hz, Connect Ventures, IPR, Atlantic Labs, and Best Nights Ventures.

Organised by the CultTech Association, the pioneering force behind the emerging CultTech industry, the 2025 CultTech Summit will bring together an extraordinary mix of visionaries, founders, investors, cultural institutions, artists, policy-makers, and corporations. With 70+ world-class speakers, an international startup pitch stage, and nearly 100 investors confirmed, the CultTech Summit is fast becoming the global launchpad for early-stage ventures building the future of creative technology.

The two-day program is built around three core pillars: Tech for Cultural Impact, Sustainable Revenue Models for Culture, and Democratizing Culture. From AI’s role in shaping Europe’s cultural agenda and innovative audience engagement strategies for museums, to sustainable investment in the arts and new models of cultural access, CultTech Summit 2025 will spotlight the most urgent topics and transformative ideas shaping the global culture-tech ecosystem.

This year’s summit also hosts the Demo Day of Batch 6 of the CultTech Accelerator, where 17 startups will pitch their ventures. Across six cohorts, CultTech has supported startups from over 20 countries - with leading alumni from the UK, Germany, Austria, Spain, and Italy.
