Last week, CloudGuide was invited to participate in the VC CultTech Hackathon in Vienna, where we spent three days creating solutions that will further impact the future of Arts and Culture.

The VC CultTech Hackathon organized by the viennacontemporaryand Pioneers Discoveroffered a unique chance for cultural institutions to gain inspiration and innovative concepts from tech experts and startups from around the world. During which, 8 participating teams, and over 30 members, presented their solutions through the use of technology in order to come up with a way of shaping the future of arts in Vienna, Austria.

In our case, CloudGuide spent three days rapidly prototyping a plan for Vienna State Opera, in the interest of coming up with designed solution to enhance the customer experience to fit the needs of the famous Vienna Opera House. Among the challenges we were requested to overcome, CloudGuide proposed a variety of ways that the Opera House could incorporate in their institution in order to digitalize the overall stay from beginning to end. Additionally, through the use of new technologies, we successfully proposed solutions so as to enhance the art experience and integration of innovative solutions towards community building.

This was a great chance for members of our team to work and establish relationships with some of greatest Viennese art institutions, as well as contribute and share our solutions to members of the art and IT society.
