Sustainability & Circular Economy

CooProg is a free, open-source digital platform that enables performing arts and music programmers across Europe to coordinate touring schedules and co-program artists. The platform allows venues and organizations to share programming intentions, visualize tour routing geographically, and build collaborative tours that minimize travel distances and carbon emissions. Users can search for partners interested in specific artists, manage scheduling from early intentions to confirmed dates, and communicate via integrated chat to coordinate sustainable, geographically coherent tours.

Creast provides ISO 14067-certified software and services for measuring, reducing, offsetting, and certifying carbon footprints in the entertainment and hospitality industries. The platform offers sector-specific carbon calculation tools for film/TV production, advertising, live events, distribution, exhibition, and hotels, with automated invoice processing, sustainability reporting, and certification services. The company's methodology covers prediction, reduction, calculation, offsetting, and certification phases, helping clients achieve carbon neutrality while complying with environmental regulations like CSRD and FSRD.

Memories of the Melted is an interactive climate art installation that transforms over 130,000 scientific data points about glacier decline into a real-time, multisensory experience. Visitors use hand gestures to navigate through time (1890s to 2100) and adjust temperature scenarios while interacting with a physical ice sheet that drips water at rates corresponding to projected glacier melt. The installation combines AI-powered generative art, motion sensors, projection mapping, and synchronized soundscapes to visualize the Rhône Glacier's past, present, and future states under different climate scenarios. Created in collaboration with leading glaciologists, it bridges scientific accuracy with emotional engagement for policy makers, educators, and the general public.

La Musicleta is an electric bicycle that transforms into a fully autonomous, battery-powered mobile stage for live performances. The system achieves zero net CO2 emissions and brings professional-grade performances directly to streets, plazas, and remote communities without requiring external power infrastructure. Developed in collaboration with Austrian technology partner VeloConcerts, it serves as sustainable cultural infrastructure focused on democratizing access to live arts.

Bosc dels Sentits is an immersive interactive exhibition designed to raise awareness about the human-nature relationship, climate change, and environmental conservation. Using Playtronica® technology, visitors can generate electrical impulses by touching conductive natural objects (trees, plants, leaves, fruits), which are then translated into visual landscapes and sounds via Smode® and Ableton®. The experience engages multiple senses—hearing, sight, smell, and touch—to encourage reflection on climate consciousness. The project has completed a first edition and is now planning a second edition targeting the Barcelona/Catalunya market.

Paisatge Sonor de Barcelona/Catalunya is a strategic initiative driven by the company Sonorus, with support from APECAT, aimed at transforming Barcelona and Catalonia's sonic landscape by promoting locally produced music—especially in Catalan—in ambient music settings for both local and visiting audiences. The project seeks to reinforce Catalan linguistic and cultural identity through curated soundscaping that bypasses algorithmic control. It also focuses on fair artist remuneration, personalized sonic experiences, and strengthening the Catalunya brand internationally.

Beat Lounge is a circular economy project by Prewaste that collects plastic waste generated at music festivals and transforms it into durable, 100% recyclable outdoor furniture (benches) through an in-house R&D process. The project offers festivals a full environmental accompaniment service including waste management, emissions calculation, and impact reporting. Furniture is offered under a rental/servitization model, enabling festivals to use circular products without direct purchase. The model is designed to be replicable and scalable across different territories and event formats.

Festiverso is a comprehensive digital platform for managing and promoting music festivals, consisting of a web-based administration panel for organizers and native mobile apps (Android/iOS) for attendees. It handles lineup management, scheduling, automated roadmap generation, artist contest and voting management, real-time push notifications, and sponsor metrics. The platform is open-source (GNU AGPLv3), designed with full accessibility compliance, and includes gender equity data tracking and sustainability reporting features. It is developed by Simbiótica Tech, a Spanish workers' cooperative, and targets independent promoters and municipalities seeking an end-to-end, ethically-designed festival management solution.
