What happens when cultural heritage meets artificial intelligence, immersive technologies and new digital experiences?

On 5 October 2026, the MetaHeritage Pitching Showcase will bring seven selected projects to an international audience of investors, innovation actors and potential strategic partners. The online event marks the final stage of the MetaHeritage Call for Investment Ideas, developed in collaboration with the European Business Angels Network (EBAN).

The seven selected projects represent a diverse range of approaches to using digital technologies to transform how heritage is interpreted, experienced, preserved and connected with new audiences.
