ArtCentrica grows through collaborations with cultural institutions, research centers, investors, and acceleration programs. Every partnership contributes to making visual heritage a concrete tool for education and development.
ArtCentrica is backed by investors, acceleration programs, and institutional networks that share its vision. A diverse ecosystem, built over time through competitive selections and relationships grounded in the project’s credibility.
FuturED is the EdTech acceleration program promoted by CDP Venture Capital SGR – National Innovation Fund, hosted at H-FARM. ArtCentrica participated in the program and is now backed by CDP Venture Capital as a shareholder — a concrete recognition of ArtCentrica’s model strength and growth potential in the EdTech sector.
Since March 2023, ArtCentrica has been supported by Fondazione Social Venture Giordano Dell’Amore, which invested in Centrica – ArtCentrica’s parent company – through the Impact4Art program, dedicated to the growth of high-impact enterprises in the cultural sector.
Through the Tuscany X.0 project, co-funded by the Next Generation EU program, ArtCentrica developed AI ArtCentrica Stories: a tool that combines artificial intelligence and human creativity to generate interactive multimedia narratives from works of art.
