TECH fest : focused on the world of start-ups, investors and the latest technological innovations;
WUF : short for “We Understand the Future”, a vertical format about new art forms connected to the latest technologies.
All this makes up the Lugano Digital Weekend, which spreads across the entire city and canton of Ticino.
Thanks to the collaboration between FFS and Lugano Living Lab (the city’s digital laboratory), event tickets will also be valid for the duration of their validity as public transport tickets throughout the Arcobaleno tariff community. Tickets can be reserved at www.nft-fest.com. Participants will thus be able to easily reach Lugano for free from all over Ticino using the public transport network.
The town hall and its Piazza della Riforma (the city’s main square) will be the epicenter of the various festivals. Professional speeches and podcasts by industry representatives and important influencers will take place inside the courtyard of the municipality building. And just like last year, this year will also be an opportunity for discussion and “clash” on various sensitive and important topics, sometimes contradictory, connected with technological innovations.
Above all, there will be room for innovation and the city will foresee certain strategic activities undertaken to facilitate the movement of technology start-ups in the region.

We are proud to be engaging more and more people in our territory, which is now the talk of the world.”
