This 90-minute interactive online panel explores strategic navigation and dynamic value creation across the rapidly evolving Creative Tech and Art+Tech landscapes. As emerging technologies, decentralised infrastructures, and AI reshape cultural and creative production, the interface between artistic practice, technological innovation, and sustainable business models is becoming increasingly complex.
The session deconstructs how cultural, technological, and economic value intersect in practice. We will examine emerging market dynamics, novel platform ecosystems, and real-world case studies to investigate how creative practitioners and cultural entrepreneurs can identify strategic opportunities and position their initiatives effectively. Rather than viewing technology purely as a tool or startup mechanism, this discussion approaches Creative Tech through strategic agency — equipping participants with the perspectives needed to navigate structural shifts, articulate compelling narratives for decision-makers, and build resilient value propositions in an era of accelerated transformation.
Target Audience
Creative professionals, cultural practitioners, entrepreneurs, designers, innovation managers, and leaders from the arts, culture, and creative industries interested in exploring strategic opportunities at the intersection of technology and value creation.
