The Artech Hub will foster research, training, dissemination, transfer and production programmes.

Explore and develop intersections between art, science and technology to boost the digital transformation of society: this is the aim of the Barcelona Art, Science and Technology Hub (Artech Hub), promoted by nine institutions to make Barcelona a global centre for research, training, dissemination, transfer and production in this field.

The institutions involved in the Artech Hub are Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-Barcelona Tech), Fira de Barcelona, Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Barcelona Tech City, Hangar, the New Art Foundation and the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST).

This is a cross-sector initiative under a joint-governance model, which has the support of institutions such as Barcelona City Council, the Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce.
