Culture 2026 | Competitiveness, innovation and digitalisation
7 and 8 October, Lucca Real Collegio
Culture is the driver of our accelerated transition into the future. Mission number one of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) aims to give a decisive boost to the Country’s competitiveness and productivity. To do so, it places the valorisation of the cultural asset at the forefront, along with digitalisation and tourism.
Therefore, it is time for both Public Administration and companies to adopt a strategic approach in planning interventions for a real cultural transition towards innovative socio-economic and technical-productive systems with respect to vision, processes and products.
LuBeC 2021 aimed to draw the attention on the main challenges, the tools and a few pilot actions, which can be implemented in the whole Country thanks to the integration between PNRR policies and national actions concerning: digitalisation and sustainability; training and competitiveness; cultural welfare and internationalisation; inclusion and new housing dimensions.

The main theme of the opening conference of LuBeC 2021 was Recovery Plan, digital transition and new humanism.

IMMERSIVA | Living and managing digital challenges
First international summit on immersive art
Immersive art is both an instrument to amplify and shape the impact of the cultural message conveyed by tangible and intangible heritage, and a real artistic expression – with its own language, its own aesthetics and a group of great performers.
The first international summit on immersive art was held at LuBeC. It was structured on three appointments between Thursday 7 and Friday 8 October, and also included an on-site exhibition. Immersiva was an experiential and educational journey that you could experience directly in Lucca.
The initiative took place thanks to the collaboration between PROMO PA Foundation, Immersiva Livorno srl, and Brigth Fesival and with the support of BARCO.
