OGR Torino at the CultTech Summit 2025: innovation and culture for a global impact

OGR Torino, the Fondazione CRT hub, will take part in the CultTech Summit 2025, scheduled for October 22–23 in Vienna, at the Aula der Wissenschaften. The event, promoted by the CultTech Association, brings together institutions, companies and international organizations to explore the transformative potential of the intersection between technology and culture.

OGR Torino’s participation is part of an ongoing path toward greater internationalization and the consolidation of its role as a platform for experimentation, collaboration and development in the field of creative industries. The goal is to contribute to the global debate on new forms of funding, partnerships and sustainable models for the cultural sector.

Among the highlights of the event is the panel “Rethinking Cultural Funding Through Innovation and Strategic Partnerships”, featuring Marco Zappalorto, Director of International Strategy and Partnerships at OGR Torino, together with Laura Callanan (Founding Partner, Upstart Co-Lab) and Adama Sanneh (Co-founder & CEO, Moleskine Foundation). The discussion will be moderated by Adriano Picinati di Torcello (Director, Deloitte General Services).

The conversation will focus on innovative strategies to attract private investment and build sustainable funding models that can combine cultural impact with economic return. In a global context marked by rapid change, the panel will offer reflections on how cultural organizations and creative enterprises can engage with foundations, philanthropic institutions and impact investors.

By participating in the CultTech Summit 2025, OGR Torino strengthens its commitment to promoting an integrated vision of culture and innovation, contributing to the creation of a more resilient, open and international creative ecosystem.
