STARTS is a platform aiming to foster alliances of technology and artistic practice that effectively implement European policymaking to nurture innovation and that also benefit the art world. It supports collaborations between artists, scientists, engineers and researchers to develop more creative, inclusive, and sustainable technologies, and focuses on people and projects that contribute to mastering the social, ecological and economic challenges faced by the European continent. Ars Electronica has been an active partner of the initiative since 2015, hosting and organizing the annual STARTS Prize as leading partner with Waag and BOZAR, contributing to the development of a sustainable and long-term strategy for the STARTS initiative as partner within STARTS Ecosystem, and most recently advancing the agenda of STARTS on a local level in the city of Linz as a Regional STARTS Center.
