As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on a year full of collaboration, innovation, and learning. We are proud of what we have achieved together, and it’s all thanks to your continued support and engagement. Let’s revisit some of the key moments we shared this year:
ArtTech Conversation x Swissnex in San Francisco – Gaming the Museum: The Power of Open-Source Innovation in Cultural Spaces
In partnership with Swissnex San Francisco and Project AMI, we brought together an international community of creators, technologists, and cultural leaders to explore how open-source innovations are reshaping museums, education, and public engagement.
If you missed the live session, you can catch the replay on our YouTube channel:

This year’s edition explored the role of play in creativity and technological innovation, highlighting new artistic expressions, interactive experiences, and emerging digital practices.

2025 ArtTech Prize
During the AVARA ArtTech Event, we also hosted the 2025 ArtTech Prize, which once again was a great success. We had the opportunity to meet eight innovative startups shaping the future of the ArtTech sector, and it was inspiring to discover their projects and exchange ideas.
We warmly congratulate all participants, and especially this year’s winner, Peggy, for their outstanding work. The 2025 ArtTech Prize pitches are also available to watch on our YouTube channel.
We sincerely thank our partners, sponsors, speakers, and attendees for making this year’s initiatives possible.
