Future Week Torino @ OGR Torino

Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 May 2026
OGR Torino

From 25 to 26 May 2026, OGR Torino will host a selection of events as part of Future Week Torino, a citywide program of initiatives that spans the urban landscape and connects diverse skills, ideas, and communities.

Future Week is a shared program built by different organizations: each event is independently created, yet contributes to a broader narrative. The 2026 edition revolves around the theme Raw Material, understood as the set of invisible resources such as time, skills, relationships, and decision making capacity that lie at the origin of every project and shape its evolution.
The events hosted at OGR Torino explore this dimension from different perspectives, from new organizational models in game development to the transfer of academic research into the market.

Patch Wednesday | Wednesdays with Cybersecurity
AI Cyber Continuum - When Artificial Intelligence Meets the Physical World

An event by OGR Torino as part of Torino Future Week, curated by Lecs

Tuesday, May 26 | 6.30 PM
OGR Torino | Mezzanino

Free admission
Reservations available

Patch Wednesday returns with a session curated by Cyber Evolution, focused on a new phase of digital security: the convergence between cyber and the physical world.

Industrial systems, connected vehicles, critical infrastructures, and space technologies are no longer separate environments, but interdependent ecosystems where software, data, automation, and physical components interact in real time. In this scenario, AI is transforming both defense capabilities - detection, response, automation - and attack methods: automated reconnaissance, AI-generated offensive code, enhanced social engineering campaigns, and vulnerabilities identified at increasingly faster speeds.

From Space Cyber to Automotive security, and across industrial IT/OT environments, digital threats can now produce tangible effects on production processes, mobility, supply chains, and essential infrastructure. This is the new AI Cyber Continuum: a space where attack and defense evolve together, and where operational resilience and cybersecurity must be designed as a single integrated strategy.

An aperitif will be served at the end of the event.

Tech & Tonic for game dev
Manifesto for a New Kind of Game Development

An event by OGR Torino as part of Torino Future Week

Monday 25 May 2026 | 6.30 PM
OGR Torino | Speakers’ Corner

Free entry
Reservation available

As part of Future Week Torino, the Tech & Tonic format hosts Aleksandar Gavrilović, managing director of Gamechuck and founder of Summer Eternal, for a talk dedicated to the evolution of organizational models in the game development sector.
Starting from the experience of Summer Eternal, a studio founded by former Disco Elysium developers, the event explores an innovative model of cooperative production in which not only workers and founders, but also players actively participate in decision making processes. An approach that redefines the concept of creative ownership and opens new perspectives on the relationship between development, community, and governance.
The talk traces the creation of this model, the challenges faced, and the lessons learned during its first year of activity, offering a concrete look at possible futures for the video game industry.
