Edinburgh International Festival 2026
The world's largest arts festival includes a significant digital-arts and creative-technology strand, with immersive installations, AI-generated art exhibitions, and creative-tech showcases. Edinburgh during August is also a magnet for informal tech-community meetups and founder dinners organized by the Scottish startup ecosystem. While not a pure tech event, it's a key cultural moment for creative-tech, content-tech, and entertainment startups looking to connect with media buyers and cultural institutions.
