Torino Cluster Workshop and Demo Day, showcasing the results of the local cluster of the project TrialsNet and the experiments of the CONVINCE project and CTE Next

Torino, the European Capital of Innovation and Smart Tourism for 2025, is preparing for a new event of great importance. On September 16th, 2025, at CSI Next, the “Torino Easy to Visit: Innovation for Culture and Inclusive Tourism” event will be held. This meeting will highlight the results of the European TrialsNet project and the experiments conducted with the CONVINCE project, as well as some of the companies accelerated by the House of Emerging Technologies (CTE Next).

The meeting, which is expected to host about 70 participants from institutions, cultural bodies, businesses, and citizens, will offer an overview of how emerging technologies are transforming cultural and tourist experiences in Turin, helping to make it a more accessible and inclusive city.

Event Program, Key Themes and Demo Area

The event will take place in the afternoon, from 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and will be an opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are transforming cultural and tourist experiences. The key themes of the day will include a roundtable discussion on the results of the European TrialsNet project, which has funded innovative large-scale cultural use cases directly and specific trials developed by local companies with cascade funds. Another roundtable will feature the directors of important museums in Torino to discuss the application of these technologies, with a focus on the TrialsNet and CONVINCE projects. Additionally, the event will give space to some of the experiments by companies accelerated by CTE Next. Throughout the afternoon, a demo area will be set up where participants can experience first-hand the solutions presented by the companies.

Torino - One City, Two Capitals

This event is yet another solid example of how Torino embodies its dual role as the European Capital of Innovation and the European Smart Tourism Capital. The event, also promoted through the social media channels of the European projects, CTE, and Torino City Lab, aims to consolidate Torino's leadership in the innovation landscape, serving as a model of collaborative governance among public bodies, businesses, and the cultural world.
