We are very honored to be welcomed this year by Sabancı University, Istanbul.

The Forum, which will happen in a phygital format, will be partly broadcasted from Istanbul, from the beautiful Sabancı University’s Sakıp Sabancı Museum. Turkey, and more broadly the Middle East region, will be highlighted during this edition, showcasing its rich creative and cultural industries, as well as its extraordinary heritage.

Since 2017 and for the 5th edition, the objective of the Forum ArtTech is to bring together an international community of researchers, cultural institutions, start-ups, and established companies around the general theme of Cultural and Creative Industries today strongly inspired by technology.

The presentations will allow having a broad vision of the concerned field, with strong points on innovative technologies useful for the preservation of the heritage, with regard to the richness of Turkey’s heritage, to the new formats of creation and diffusion of culture, considering the acceleration given by the pandemic to the digital dimension, or the trends and opportunities followed by the industry and the investors these last months.
