19 November 2026 | 17:00 | CINETic UNATC
How is artificial intelligence transforming the way creative work is produced, distributed, and valued—and what new opportunities does it open for entrepreneurs? Bringing together voices from the creative industries, public institutions, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and AI research, this panel examines the opportunities and challenges of turning AI-driven creative ideas into sustainable businesses. Discussions will address emerging business models, the skills needed to navigate an evolving creative economy, access to funding and support mechanisms, and the journey from concept to product and market. Organised as part of the European ELICIA project, the conversation bridges artistic experimentation, technological innovation, and entrepreneurship, exploring how creative professionals can shape and thrive in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.

Copyright in the Context of Artificial Intelligence
20 November 2026 | 16:00 | CINETic UNATC
Who owns what we create with AI? As artificial intelligence reshapes artistic practices and creative industries, questions of authorship, intellectual property, and legal responsibility become increasingly urgent. Organised within the European project ELICIA – Empowering Leadership in Creative Innovation and AI-driven Entrepreneurs, this masterclass explores the legal implications of AI-assisted creation, from copyright protection and the use of training data to licensing, trademarks, and the ownership of AI-generated outputs. Combining expert insights with hands-on discussions of emerging creative start-ups, the session offers practical guidance for artists, researchers, and entrepreneurs seeking to protect their ideas, navigate legal uncertainties, and bring AI-driven innovations to market responsibly.
