Rome Tech Fest

Rome's premier digital innovation festival

The Rome Tech Fest is the capital's first festival entirely dedicated to the synergistic encounter between innovation, art, and new digital technologies. Conceived by the Progetto Bridges Association with the support of the Lazio Region and the patronage of Roma Capitale, the event was created with the mission of making the languages of innovation accessible, building a bridge between institutions, professionals, and citizens. Technology is presented as a tool for social connection and collective growth, in an inclusive space where skills meet and ideas circulate freely.

Three thematic days at WeGil in Trastevere

The festival spans three days, each with a specific theme. AI Friday (June 5th) is dedicated to artificial intelligence, quantum computing, creativity, and the ethical and regulatory implications of new technologies, featuring a roundtable titled «AI: between rights, protections, and opportunities». Smart Saturday (June 6th) delves into Smart City models and urban transformation projects. Innovation Sunday (June 7th) closes the event by addressing the relationship between digitalization, environmental sustainability, and new technological frontiers.

Rome NFT Week and digital art

The second edition of the Rome NFT Week takes place within the Rome Tech Fest, an initiative already awarded as the best event dedicated to NFTs, blockchain, and digital art at the «Roma Smart City Awards 24». The public can explore an international exhibition featuring works by Italian and international artists, immersive virtual and augmented reality installations, and phygital works that integrate physical artifacts with digital certification via NFC and blockchain technology. Hundreds of works are presented on advanced high-definition multimedia platforms.

A bridge between institutions, artists, and citizens

Beyond exhibitions and installations, the program features talks and panels with industry experts—moments of exchange designed to bring the general public closer to the themes of innovation. Rome Tech Fest is aimed at professionals, enthusiasts, students, and families, with an educational and participatory approach that values dialogue between the research world, businesses, and the community.

WeGil, in the heart of Rome

The chosen venue is WeGil, located at Largo Ascianghi 5, a historic rationalist building in the Trastevere district converted into a multifunctional cultural hub for the Lazio Region. Its location, in the Municipality of Rome and the heart of Trastevere, combines architectural memory with a contemporary vision, offering an ideal setting for a festival looking toward the future. The event, free and open to all, helps make Rome and the Lazio region a reference point for digital culture.
